Just acquired a new to me dual bulb halogen (H9/H11) headlight and mounting bucket but it didn't include the retainer ring to hold the light to the bucket.
I've got a set of frenched visor rings coming to go with it but it seems to me the rings will mount to the retainer that I'm missing. Is that right?
So...who has the part number or a source for this ring that I didn't realize I need. Or better yet, who has one lying around?
Go on the harley website. Look up the headlight and scroll down to the details. Click on the installation instructions and there will be a drawing of all of the separate parts with part numbers. Or go to the dealer and ask them to do the same thing. Most of the time when you buy a complete assembly, each individual part is available separately also.

I may have the stock ring from my '08 Street Glide as I added the extended ring years back. Shoot me an IM if you want it. You pay the shipping and its yours. I'll be in my shop tomorrow and look for it.
Upon closer inspection, my stock headlight did have a removable ring that is used in the install of the dual bulb headlight. I thought that it was different since the stock light is held to the bike with a spring whereas this new one is not.
The instructions for the dual bulb kit confirm that and, consequently, do not give a part number for the ring.
Seems that I'm good after all, but we'll see if the new trim rings I have coming mount up right. If need be, I'll get a hold of you, timberland.
