After reading here of the problems with the HD Visor ring, I ordered one anyway hoping I would get lucky. No such luck, I have the dreaded gap.

Does anyone know if someone else other than HD makes the visor ring? I can live with what I've got if I have to, but would like to explore theoptions.

I've done the search thing, and in some old posts, it was said that J&P has them, but I can't find one there. I put a piece of chrome pin stripe tape over the gap as someone else here has done. It looks better than the gap but I can still see it even if no one else notices.

 

I really want in on this one. It drives me nuts!

 

In have an 07 Ultra. My buddy has an 08 Ultra and we both have the gap. Sorry not an answer that you were looking for, but I just had to vent

 

well i have to agree they couldhavedevised a better product there.

 

I was able to get rid of the gap, by loosening the screw under the ring and pulling it as tight together by hand as I could. slipped a smaller screwdriver in to tighten the screw under the ring and then slowly re-tightning the ring while trying to squeeze the bottom together by had in between each turn of the screwdriver. Took a little time and patience, but if you get the trim ring all the way seated down and work slowly the gap can be elimintated.

Hope this helps.

I had the gap also.However, when I installed the ring, after the first few rides I would crank it down a few times, slowly.........I have no gap.

 

Don't know if Mine has a gap,,from where I sit I can't see it, and at 75 mph, no one else can see it! Is it really that big a deal?

 

Thats a good idea, I'll try it. But does anyone know if this piece is available from anyone other than HD?

 

Good idea here too. Thanks.

 

A company called Headwinds has a visor ring.
You dont want to even know their price.[:'(]
