Default HD Visor Trim Ring

So since the Visor Trim Ring doens't fit on the Street Glide without a dreaded gap left at the bottom. I was wondering if there is a Visor Trim Ring that someone would recommend as a better fit than the HD one. I really like the look of the Trim ring but the headlight does not fit flush and the crack at the bottom is awful. Living in Louisiana there is quite a few bugs at night. I sure don't want to be constantly cleaning that thing. Any Pictures would be great too!

Thanks

Christopher

This is the HD visor ring with a TruckLite headlight. I also used it with a dual bulb halogen headlight. Some fiddling and it fits just fine IMO. Do I wish it mounted as simply as the factory ring? Absolutely.

Custom Chrome
Headlight Trim Ring Visor
#30107 Smooth Chrome

This is a better fit than Harley. If you work and play with the Harley you can get the gap out but it’s a pain to achieve

I got mine tight but used help. I squeezed with both hands while someone tightened the screw.

The biggest thing I found that helps is to have a little space behind the mounting bucket. At least the generic one I have sits right flush with the fairing so the lip of the trim ring can't get behind it. Some thin washers between the fairing and bucket seem to work well.

I like that Custom Chrome unit...cheap too. Can anyone confirm the difference between the #30107 and #30106? Something about a pointed tip to match nacelles?

Well my light didn’t fit flush in ring. Had a huge gap all around. Wasn’t just crack in front where screw was, I must need to look again
