Took about six hours and a busted knuckle. Does anyone have any tips on closing the gap between the headlight and the fairing? I couldn't figure it out.

I keep trying to post a pic and all I get is an error message. I installed a headlamp visor (fairing) and there is a big gap between the headlight and the fairing. I took it off and on central times adjusting the alignment screws on the fairing, but couldn't close the gap.

Not tracking on the gap. Please continue to U/L a photo. Not much of a computer guy or I'd help you on that,

Hey is that Zapata, Tx?

If it's the HD fairing, use the Dyna spacers instead of the Sportster spacers.
