Anyone have this? When its installed it seems to have a gap at the bottom of about 1/4 inch and its bugging me. Not sure if there is supposed to be a gap or if I just cant get it tight enough. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I just installed one over the weekend, and I have a slight gap as well. Doesn't really answer your question, but you're not the only one.

 

even in the H-D photo you can see a gap.

this is kind of a 3 hander...

make sure that the trim ring is seated behind the stock ring

try to get the trim ring in place and "close" with out causing any crimps.


I used a flexible rubber strap, like a strap wrench, to tension the ring and draw the opening closed

and the 3rd hand ( spouse) ran the electric screwdriver to hold it in that position

lots of complaints and comments on this piece...H-D could have done alot better that this.

Used a clamp with a towel buffer between the trim ring and the clamp.. Worked like a charm.

 

So some of you are able to get it installed with no gap at all? I took the factory ring off and then fitted it over it to see if I could get it on with no gap and still had a gap. Its almost like its not large enough to close completely over the stock ring.

 

I did the same thing,,,,,no gap at all!!!

 

Pics duh! One of the wife hand job gap and one of the dish towel strap wrench method.

 

I have them on the auxiliary lights and the headlight - big gap!

I'll have to try the strap 'n screwdriver method.

 

I cant pull up your link on my phone but your sure you have the one for the touring model not the softail? Just a thought

 

I read a previous thread on this subject that suggested backing off the mounting screws of the original trim ring 1/4 turn. This allows the back lip of visor trim to slide behind easier. Worked for me, didn't have to fight with the screw at all.
