Same here, ceratinly not up to HD standards especially for the price we paid.

HD standards>> the price they charge??
get real. we are fodder for the MOCO and their who cares just pay it attitude
HD is getting worst and worst with parts and quailty but we continue to buy from the stealers and the Head Stealer the Corp of Harley
I an just as guilty as the next guy but I know I;m being robbed

I had the trim rings on my 01 RK. Liked the look but HATED the gap. Dealer just shrugged it off. I wrote to MOCO and never heard anything back from them. I love my H/D but hate the MOCO.[:@]

Yes - this piece is straight out of taiwan - I have the gap as well - I also returned a couple before realizing it was just a pis poor design.

I have to wonder if there was some problem converting standard to metric - or a translation problem between chinese and english or something.. The sad thing is really, that this problem has been around for a long time and they have done nothing about it - like redesign it to fit properly. WTF - It was only about 20 bucks or something - you get what you pay for.

Hope these engineers didn' t do any work in the engine or transmission area

You could shrink it all you want - and the gap would still not go away because the trim ring has an inner circumference less than the outer circumference of the original ring it must go over - it actually needs to be bigger to make the gap go away. About 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

HD knows this - it has been a problem for a long time - I can only believe they have about a million of these things in a warehouse somewhere and do not want to scrap them.

If you play with it, turn and readjust you can get it to paper thin, least I did on my sons 02 classic.

I suggested to a staff member at Kuryakyn that the company ought to think about marketing one for their customers. The only other one that I'm familiar with is by Headwinds...it is a piece of art but very pricey$$$$.
