    Hello all,

    New to the forum and looking for any help with getting and replacing a melted headlight lens on my 1050 tiger (11 plate). Stupidly left my jacket over the screen for five minutes the other day with the bike running and got back to a melted lens.

    Looked around but starting to think the only choice is a new headlight assembly complete which is a pain for the sake of a 6 inch piece of crap plastic.

    Any help appreciated.

    Rob
