Way overpriced!
I have the HD frenched rings on my headlight, aux lamps and turnsignals and there's no gap at all.
There are posts on this Forum explaining how to mount them to eliminate the gap. I followed the instructions and everything worked fine.

i've been trying to figure out if i can use the tig to weld the harley visor type over the original one so i'm not using that goofy clamp setup on the bottom. i should be able to pull that job off, by milling out the areas for headlight adjustment and using the original tab at the top along with the retainer screw at the bottom of the original ring at the bottom. i just hate that cheezy clamp on style which seems very cheap and poorly designed. but i be damm if i be spending three bills for something that is cool cause it says headwinds on the package.

I know of some "trim" worth the cash, but not the kind going around my headlamp!

Mine works, is it perfect? No but you have to get under the light to see that its not.
I have NEVER had anyone do that.
Best 38 bucks I ever spent. Not going to spend almost ten times that on a headlight ring.

I looked at that headlight bezel a while back, and I really wrestled with the cost. I truly believe that it's a quality product, and if money were no object....well, it'd be on my bike today. Unfortunately, for some of us, money IS an issue...therefore no Headwinds bezel till I hit the lotto!

Damacus - Did you ever install this..? I'm ordering one and would like some feedback on the install...

I've done plenty of the 40+ ones and look forward this one, but wasnt sure if there's more involved than the HD ones...which are simple to install.
