Default Headwinds Visor

After reading all the horror stories about the HD headlight visor, I bit the bullet and bought a Headwinds visor.

http://www.headwinds.com/mm5/merchan...gory_Code=0109

Got it for $260 shipped from Calf. Lot of money but I'm sure there be no GAP and chrome finish should be better then the HD visor. Hey, it's only money!!!!

I hope you're posting some pics once you have it installed. Do they have a matching set for the spot lights and turn sigs. on the front/rear too?

I'll be interested in seeing it installed as well. I've thought about that before, but the price made me shy away. They do make some good quality products though, so I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

I was debating to because of the price but I've always found (most of the time the hard way) that you get what you pay for. Plus the $50 off retail helped a lot to. This was a cheap winter, only spent about $700 on the bike. I keep saying I'm done but this forum and the winter boredom continues to cost me money year after year........

Did you adjust your headlight to even the gap all the way around?

I left mine as is and a have a decent gap on the right side, looking at the bike from the front.

I was going to adjust the headlight but figured it would screw up the pattern on the road.

Didn't have to adjust it, just used the included o-rings and tightened the screw at the bottom, no gaps.
