Headlight "frenched" trim ring for '07 SG
I purchased the H-D “frenched” headlight trim ring for my ’07 SG and like many others on this forum, it doesn’t fit properly. It’s a Taiwan/Chinese POS [:@] It’s being returned to the dealer tomorrow.
Has anyone purchased an aftermarket one for their Street Glide that fits correctly? If so, mfg. & part number would be helpful.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all……

did you make sure the old ring was loose before fitting the new ring over it? I had to play around with it for a while, to ensure the new ring fit into the gap between the housing and the old ring. If you don't you will have a serious gap between the ring. Even with that, you will likely have a small gap. Agree it could be much better, but in my case, i was able to get it to fit pretty good.

I feel your pain, but it can work if you still want to use it...
I took the original trim ringoff (And stored it away). I thenstucktwopieces of rubber weather insulation on the inside lower portionofthe new trim ring andtightened it down. It's nowtight around the headlight frame and there is no gap. Good luck.
