On my 09 FLHR Here in Cool washington, had a Melt Down problem on the amber Front lens cover.....
I came off a 350 mile run, Home and cleaning off the Few bugs turning wheel to lock,,, and heard a tinkle noise of something falling to the floor... Looking and found the warped lamp cover....
Long story Short..... The Heat off the light bulb made the cover look like Smittys Rank on his arm patch (lens perfect shrunk upward off middle bottom).... looking at a new Fully rectangular one as compared to my evenly Heat modified one showing lots of chevrons, Out ranking the new one...
It was under warranty but at only 4.51$ I elected to just replace with the new cover...
Looking at the old one with Many Bubbles that were Probably there in the original formation cast of the part ,,, I attribute that being the problem...
original bulb and new cover shows no sign of increased RANK...
HD said they had a few other bikes with this problem but no reason for the shrinkage was known by them...
just thought you might check to see if yours is STILL a true rectangle and snapped into the fender light chrome fixture tightly...
You will really see a deformation if it goes bad like mine..
