Issues with headlight getting chipped or cracked?

I urge you to go and have a look on Ron Ayers or somewhere at the price of a new one, it's not cool.

$386 USD. So would probably cost $600 to $650 NZD to get one all up. If I do come across some kind of stick on protective kit for it, I may look at getting it.

GSX-R headlights have been universal market for a few years now.
The headlight on my E24 (Aussie spec) 750 is exactly the same part # as the US or Euro spec ones

Once again, you have MISSED IT!
The whole reason is because the NZ market can not buy 2000 headlight assy's to get a good deal.
Heck, they would be totally lucky to go through one (of any model) a quarter!

It doesn't work that way with factory parts. You're not talking about aftermarket manufacturers here.

Yes, headlights in LH drive countries are indeed different.

Not on my GSXR. It is symmetrical with direction arrows pointing left and right. See the pic I posted earlier.
