Default Headlamp visor trim for 2018 softails (non-touring)

Hi folks

I'm kinda re-posting this with a more descriptive title in the hope someone can help

I'm looking for a visor style headlamp trim for my 2018 Heritage Classic.

It seems Harley make them for older bikes (eg. 69734-05 - but this has a single front-to-back screw fitting as opposed to the 2018s' sideways clamping screw) and they make them for the 2018 touring models (eg. 69733-05 - sideways clamping screw, but larger diameter), but not for 2018 softails, like Heritage, Slim, Deluxe etc.

The Chinese knock-offs are all similar in that they're either for older models or only touring models.

Anyone had success finding something that fits?

I haven’t seen them, but curious too. The new parts book will come out in August so there may be some new options.

HD themselves were a dead-end when I emailed to ask...

I'm surprised that after market stuff has not followed the new bikes to a large degree yet. But for the headlight, I do have the freight train visor so I'm good there. It's other things that I'd like to see offered, which seem to be few and far between so far.

New 2019 models and accessories are now listed and still no visor style headlamp trim for the 2018 softails.

That sucks.

I installed them on mine. The whole set I took out from my previous 2014 Deluxe.

However, in order to do it I had to replace the main headlight bucket (and its mount block) for an earlier-style one. Got a cheap new bucket (already painted black) from Drag Specialties. It took some wire splicing (because the new style headlamp connector woudn´t pass through the old style bucket rear hole) and I had to remove a guide pin (in which the '18 mount block fits in) from the triple tree, but in the end this was the result. The auxiliary lamps trim rings were a direct fit.





Not the ideal solution, but I hope it helps. Better than wait for an accessory that might never be offered.

Best wishes,

Bira, from Brazil.
