Still have a slight gap after numerous attempts to fix it--Irwin clamps, backing off the stock trim ring screw, anti-sleeze--nothing worked. I just decided to live with it rather than spend $$$ on one that has no gap (Kuryakyn, etc.).

 

ihave one it came fitted with the bike never looked at it ,so ill have a look tommorow and see if i have a gap

 

You have to loosen the OEM ring just a bit, make sure the French trim ring snaps BEHIND the OEM trim ring, use a small set of needle nose vice grips to pinch the ends together so you can get the little nut and bolt started, tighten until the gap goes away, winner winner chicken dinner.

 

Ok, let's keep it clean! Lol

 

I have more time into getting this to fit properly than I would like to admit

no pics, but what I did was

removed stock ring

drilled and installed four small bolts in the headlight retainer ring?, trial and error here to get tight fit and no gap

then I spaced the headlight retainer ring? out from the fairing with three small washers (real bitch, I ended up taping these together and redoing whole through the washers taped together)

HTH, way too much time but the gap is tight

 

this is how i solved my install issue and some pics to go along with it. the tape i used is sticky but not adhesive on the outside and i wrapped a few times so when i tightend the ring down it compressed the tape just a bit. this method is just like using just the original ring and its easy to remove/install whenever you need to for adjusting headlight and stuff

1. removed trim ring.
2. removed headlight bucket.
3. wrapped the edge of the bucket with black rubber pipe wrap (its in walmart plumbing section $9)
4. reinstalled headlight bucket
5. installed headlight visor ring without original visor

 

yes i have a gap on mine not much of a gap so i can live with that

 

Don't mean to restart a old thread but does anyone know the bolt size that tightens the trim ring? I stripped the original phillips head bolt out and need a new one. I would really like one with a hex head instead of the phillips. My headlight seems to be a little loose from loosening the stock ring and I need to play around with it some more.

 

this install drove me crazy as well and I to have a bit of a gap in mine and its staying...lol

 

Worked for me too. Not perfect but good enough for me.
