Any suggestions?

After having the HD chrome trim on two bikes, I prefer no trim. After the trim is on for awhile and you decide to remove it for some reason, they mark or scratch the fairing and shield and you end having to keep it on.

The Kuryakyn chrome windshield trim for the RG is cheaper than the H-D version. It is not simpler. I know someone who installed the Kuryakyn version and had no complaints. I used the H-D version on both my 2000 and 2008 RGs. The H-D version does have a RG insert. Some people like the RG insert. Others would rather save a little money. Take your choice.

Do you still have that roadie trim?

The black rubber on my 09 keeps blowing off the edge.

What would you be asking for it?

thanks

It all sucks! I've had HD and Kury trim and neither fits well.....gaps at the top....gaps at the bottom....scratches on the fairing....tried different windshields....no luck with a nice clean look. I really hope that "if" they build a 2011 RG Ultra it will have a new and improved type of windshield trim on it.

It's the most frustrating piece of chrome that I've ever put on. I went with the HD and I won't take it off even when I pulled the front fairing off to install new bars. It is hard to get it to fit right.

Harley should have a suggestion page from the real riders.

This wind shield rubber piece is nothing but a cheap nuisance.

$30,000 and it blows loose at 55. DUH

Where's the quality control department...

Just saying...
