Yes, those visor rings are a royal PITA. I had one on my RK. If you do a search on the touring forum, some of those guys have devised ways to mount the visor rings without leaving the factory piece in place.....This will get rid of the gap and keep the stock piece from getting all boogered up. Anyway, the trick is to loosen the stock piece just the right amount. Not too much not too little. It was a lot of trial and error for me on the RK....
