Are these style rings available from any of the aftermarket companies?

I want my front lights to be frenched in, but that gap will drive me nuts, too.

There's gotta be a Mensa person out there somwhere who can design a more functioning piece w/o the gapper!

Gapper is good! Gapper is great! But not in this forum!

How difficult can designing a trim ring from a piece of metal be?

Of course, I'm no design guro, but it seems simple enough.

Anyone see anything promising on the The Inventor?

Out!

:-)

Same here, ceratinly not up to HD standards especially for the price we paid.
HD standards>> the price they charge??
get real. we are fodder for the MOCO and their who cares just pay it attitude
HD is getting worst and worst with parts and quailty but we continue to buy from the stealers and the Head Stealer the Corp of Harley
I an just as guilty as the next guy but I know I;m being robbed

it is supposed to fit over the stock ring....if you loosen the screw that holds the stock ring on just a smidgen the new ring will fit nicely. i don't have a gap in mine. just play with it a little bit, it'll tighten up i promise...

J&P Cycles sells a replacement trim ring for the headlight. It replaces the stock trim ring. I don't have one, but others that do say it fits nice and tight without the gap. Part number is #3100356 @ $29.99

If you keep a bug squashed in the gap, you never see it.

I installed an aftermarket headlight bulb (clear lens with optics) and it was a little bit smaller than factory headlight bulb and suprise suprise no more gap.

I did that for about 2 hours... Still isnt right... Like I said in my post I even took the trim ring totaly off and tried to fit it on my bench and it was still messed up? Im pretty good when it comes to wrenching on things too... Just wondering what bike you have and what year is it???
