Need help installing: Headlight visor trim ring
I've read the directions and installed, and there is about 1/8 inch gap all the way around the headlight on the inside. There is nothing in the directions that say what to do. Is there a spacer that people are using or making to solve this issue? Anyone have idea what to do to fix this problem?
Part # 69733-05
2010 Street Glide
Thanks for the help!
Directions below, minus the picture.

I used the foam tape method without the original trim ring and it fits like a glove.
Hope this helps.

The gap you are worried about is a product of headlight adjustment..The headlight wouldn't work very well pointed straight out and level forward. The ring wouldn't look good if it was all cockeyed to meet the light.
You can't see it when riding and no one else cares if there is a gap. If you got the gap at the bottom closed you are better off than most!!

You can put some washers behind the retaining ring that holds the headlight to bring it out. You are probable hitting the fairing, right? Like onedn says you will need need to play with the adjusment to keep the headlight pointing correctly.

I followed the directions, kept the original ring screw loose until it was almost closed, kept loosening the Trim ring screw, squeezing the ring and tightening and squeezing. Took patience and got it all the way closed.
If the gap you are talking about is on the right side in this picture, that is from the headlight aiming and is the adjustment of the Lens. Did not touch those screws.
