Daymaker fitment 2006 Deuce
I installed the Daymaker this morning and I'm having a problem with the fit. It's loose in the housing. I called the local HD dealer about the HD vibration kit and they couldn't tell me either way about whether it would work or not so for $7 I had them order it.
Has anyone had an issue with this before with the Daymaker not fitting in the stock housing?

I know this is an old thread but I have the same problem on my deuce and wondering what you did to fix the problem? I bought the vibration damper and it is too big or something and wont let the daymaker sit into the bucket. without the damper it is loose to almost a quarter inch of play inside the bucket with the trim ring installed...

So your saying I basically need to force the daymaker into the housing with the vibration damper in there? Seems to be a quarter inch off. Seems like that would be too much to force if you know what I am saying.

Mine was originally super loose, but then I had an extra ring or something that didn't look like it was supposed to fit.
After that I though I didn't need the damper because everything seemed snug but after two or three weeks of hearing a vibration and finally figuring out it was from the headlight, I put it in. It's a very tight fit, but it does what it's supposed to. I can get some photos one day. I have a few other adjustments I have to make and will hopefully have some free time at some point this week.

Thanks. I think I got it. The metal ring with a notch in it was stuck to the stock headlight. I pulled that off and put it on with the day maker. Took a lot of force to get it pressed down and get the outer ring engaged. Do you remember using some force to get the day maker pressed down enough to engage the outer trim ring?
Thanks
Thanks
