Headlight Visor Ring
I'm gonna be installing the auxillary lights on my SG and putting visor rings on headlight, spotlights, and turn signals. I've read a lot here about the HD visor ring being a pain. I've heard Kuryakyn makes one that is better, but I can't find it on the Kury sight. Anybody got one? Pics? Any info on where to look is appreciated.

RE: Headlight Visor Ring
I've got the HD visor trim ring. It seemed a bit big a first but looks good on the bike. Didn't have a problem with getting it on, after I read the directions. Didn't read them at first and yeah, it wasa pain. After I pulled them out of the trash and looked them over, it was a snap. Makes a huge difference for the price.

RE: Headlight Visor Ring
dunno if the Street Glide headlight is the same as the Road King but if it is be sure to get the $2 metal clips and foam strip "accessory" (all in the same package) that's sold separately from the visor. makes a world of difference in ease of installation (don't ask me how i know this
).

RE: Headlight Visor Ring
I havea Road King Classic and I agree with the first reponse poster about the HD visor rings. They Rock. If you actually read the directions, it works correctly. I read all the problems on this siteand was nervous about attempting the install for the 1/4" gap etc.
So, the instructions are very clear. Loosen the original light ring covering the front of the head light (until it is almost completely out.) You may have to play with loosening and tightening this screw to get the right amount of gap.
Then, you put the new visor on and tighten it slowly. The visor has a lip on the back side of it that has to fit down in between the original light ring and the light housing.
After 2 or 3 attempts, mine has almost NO gap. You could barely put a smallflatblade screwdriver tip through it.
Don't look at the sig. That pic is old. The bike almost doesn't look like that anymore.

I looked at the visor on a new SG on a dealer's show room floor today, it had the gap that everyone talks about.
Still like to hear from someone with a little experience with the Kury.
Thanks for the info.

Totally understood. No offense taken. I was sharing my experience as someone listening and learning from the forums and dealership.

Just looked through the new 2008 Kuryakyn catalog and don't see any headlight trim rings.
