(normal) now ride the bike for a few miles and tighten the visor trim ring down just a tad more, Repeat this about three or four time and here is what it will look like when you are done.
NO MORE GAP!!




disregard the 2005 date on the pic. it's a 2008 bike and my camera is stuck on that date.
Good advise, I just kept messing with mine and now no gap.
