Headlamp visor
Has anyone installed part# 69733-5 visor on a ultra classic? I installed visors on the passing lamps and headlamp. The passing lamp visors fit perfect with no gap at the bottom seam where the ends meet. The headlamp has a gap of about .080" where the ends meet. Looks like crap. Just wondering if this is the way they fit or if I got a bad part?

If that don't work, you check that there is no debris in the way holding it open or hard wear binding and you have the blinker fluid reservoir fill to within specs, take it back IMHO.

Ok. After making sure I loosened the headlamp screws and all the other tricks I found on here, it just flat didn't fit right. Ended up removing the original bezel bending little tabs with a vise grip pliers (a suggestion from another post) in the lamp bucket, glued foam pads to the inside of new visor so it would have padding between bucket and new visor. Then put visor on (without original bezel) and it seems to fit good. Oh, changed anti-freeze in the headlamp and adjusted air pressure in brake light. :-) Would surely think HD would change this product. First HD I've owned so I'm going to have to get used to high prices for average at best accessories.

Sounds like you did similar to what I needed to do:

Ya, I loosened the bucket, that didn't work. Took the whole assy off and tried it off the bike, still gapped. Bottom line is my visor is just too small to go over the bezel. I know some guys were able to make theirs work by loosening mounting screws but mine isn't one of those.

Yeah Mine has a gap too, I spent an hour trying to get it without a gap loosening and tighening to no avail must be the new Chinese metric version of a Harley part.
Pretty sad really.
I had mine powdercoated so can't return it.
I just ignore the gap now!
