Default Who has visor headlight trim rings on a 2011 (or any year) Deluxe?
I have all of the visor style trim rings put aside for me at the dealer, but after searching here, I've read a lot of horror stories about gaps and poor fitment. I haven't paid for them yet, so I'm not committed to them, but after looking at Harley's website, the instructions for the Deluxe are to just swap the rings. There are other models that require more work...rubber strips and other things. But the Deluxe rings seem simple enough...but if they are gonna be a pain in the *** and have gaps....I'm not gonna buy them!

Any input is appreciated....and thanks!

Those rings fit good with no problems. Bobberevo is right if you run them on a Nacelle you will have a small gap but nothing to bad. Go for it bro it will change the look of your bike for the better, also try removing the reflectors for a more clean look.

They make a big difference in looks? I've always liked they way they look, I have the light kit on my fat boy and thinking about putting them on. Other than the looks, is there an advantage to having them on?

No practical reason to have them but they do look good, and no gaps at all
