Interested in this myself, but have been reading success and frustrations.

Looked at the P&A book and looks like there is one for softails and one for touring bikes with the part #s one number off. Could that be the issue?

Yup. Exactly what I did as well. Perfect and easy. I had gray in hand to test and never went back to change it out to black. I no longer notice and the fit is tight and secure.

You have to make sure its SNAPED onto the stock trim ring, then take some needle nose pliers to close the gap enough so you can get the little nut and bolt started, worked for me with no gap. I did this WITHOUT loosening the stock trim ring. Hope that helps dude, stay safe.

thanks for all replies.... here is the finished product it was the right ring for the tourers and looking at all the forums as well as google it seemed road kings had the most issues.

I had a trim ring on my FLSTF dealer installed at purchase. My RKC would look better with the trim ring..... Reading all the posts here to see if it's worth the hassle.
