detachable windshield headlight problem
Ihave a 2008 superglide custom with a riders essential kit detachable windshield.The problem im having is that the windshield slot for the headlight is about 2 or 3 inches in front of the headlight and at night it causes glare from the light so bad that high beam is unusable and almost blinding.This is a very poor factory setup.Can only think of two things to do,either cut the slot bigger or buy a mount or other headlight that sets the headlight ahead .Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it.

Are \\;you  \\;sure the windshield \\; mounts are all the way into the bolts on the clamps?

I installed the Visor Style Headlamp Trim Ring. Worked for me, cheaper and easier than a new headlight.

I put a visor on my headlamp and turn signals just because of that

if you loosen the bottom bolts you can adjst the angle of your windshield a little bit,and make sure you slide the shield all the way up! Incidentally i think \\;nobody should \\; have \\; the slightest problem for the \\;bucks kind of bucks we shell out \\;for \\;our \\;equippment!

RE: detachable windshield headlight problem
I have the same problem. I'm going to try the visor route...if that doesn't work I'll go for a longer headlight. I hope the visor works, because the headlights aren't cheap.
