that does look good

 

just put mine on yesterday - got it to close by leaving the original trim screw loose, just tight enough to hold everything in place along the top. That leaves room for the new ring to fit behind and it closed nicely. If you re-tighten the original the new one can't get in the right position to close.

 

Too bad!!!&nbsp\\; If they say HarleyDavidson you can guarantee their not cheap$$$$$&nbsp\\;

 

Thank you - Now I know that I am not the only one. You know, they say that I will not fit with a fairing bra on which I have. I can make that work no problem. But this size thing? That's a different story.

I also took the OEM ring off to see what was doing and found it to be too large for the new trim ring to fit over. I read and re-read the instructions thinking that I was missing something. What a waste of two nights tinkering in the garage. I have tried it without the OEM ring and it was not going to stay on there. I think that I will try to spread out the headlight flange at the back to give it something to grab like YodaddyKeith did.

If you want to use it with the fairing bra you can do like I did and put the stretch material of the fairing behind the headlight flange at the back, and then screw right through the material to put it back on. This works fine.

I too was unable to find any visor style trim rings like this one at J&P Cycles.

I do have a question though... when I put the trim ring on, the headlight itself is set very far back from the inside edge of the trim ring. I didn't want to move the adjuster screws until I got some advice. Is there a way to move the entire headlight out towards the trim ring without losing the aim that I have now?

Cheers.

 

Take the whole headlight assembly back off...then put a stick on weather stripping on the back of the mounting bracket where it will meet the fairing, being careful not to have it sticking out past the edges. I used 1/2 inch felt weather stripping and could have gone to 3/4 inch probably. This will bring the whole headlight straight out to enable the trim ring to make contact with the headlight. I also took the stock ring off and put the same felt weatherstripping around the inside of the new trim ring in a few spots so it would stay put without the stock ring. Made it much easier to get on and it looks good.

 

 

I've got the exact same thing. A big gap between the inside of the ring and the headlight itself. Pisses me off! Also, the passing lights ones, the lamps themselves are loose inside? Sux!
