I have them on my Roadking Classic. I like the way they look but dont care too much for the way the headlight one fit. I think my screw just stripped before I got it tightened. Sorry the only pic I can get to work on here is my avatar and they arent put on yet. I would recommend them though. I like the way they look. Just my $0.02.

Thanks for the input. I've seen my share of parts that just don't fit quite right and as simple as these seem it's just the reason I'd asked.

09 Road King Classic. Installed the visor rings, look great. Quality is poor. Two screws pulled through while tightening. Installed small ss washers to make them work. The headlight ring was an issue to close the gap. Tried for two hours to get it to look good. Used a compression stap to pull the ring tight and closed while tightening the screw. Worth the money for the look, but quality sucks

Default Light rings

I'm not sure if these are what your talking about, but this is what I have on mine, they were already on the bike when I bought it and I like the look way better then any other visor or trim.

I have the visor rings on the headlight (PIA) but got it right and the spots (fit great, no issues).
I dont know about the fitment on the "frenched" style, but the visor fitment (headlight only), sucks, but with some effort and some good ole American ingenuity, you can make it look good.

+1 on PITA headlamp!!!!!!
Must use something to help close the gap.
(I used a strap wrench with 'patience & sweet oil'!!)
Sure do look good though! Have them all around.

No problem my man. I love the look and have taken them off (not all at once) to change a burned out bulb, and they came off and went on easy for me.
