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.

 

is the shield mounted to the top of the trees? (is the top mount up against the top of the trees).

 

Sounds screwed up.
&nbsp\\;
Are&nbsp\\;you &nbsp\\;sure the windshield&nbsp\\; mounts are all the way into the bolts on the clamps?

I had that same problem. Got a new longer better headlight.

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

 

That's what my buddy did on his Super Glide when he encountered the same problem.&nbsp\\; Trim ring did the trick.

 

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&nbsp\\;nobody should&nbsp\\; have&nbsp\\; the slightest problem for the&nbsp\\;bucks kind of bucks we shell out&nbsp\\;for&nbsp\\;our&nbsp\\;equippment!

 

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.
