HEADLIGHT VISOR

[GaryD]

I don't know if it's just me or what. I have another beef with Harley and want to check with everyone to see if you have had the same experience.

I bought the headlight and runnung lights visors. I have had them on all my Glides(I really like the look). Well I tried installing the headlight visor (2012 TG) the other night. It is a piece of cake to do, I've done it many times. This time when I got done, the visor was real loose and moved all around. I took it to the dealer to see why it wouldn't install correctly. When I went back they handed me a bill for $24. I asked what that was for. They said it was for an o-ring and a couple springs they had to order. They told me that Harley updated the visor mounting with parts from 1960) WHAT THE %$#@!!  I have to buy parts from 1960 in order to fit something onto a 2012 Harley motorcycle???
I said there is nothing about that in the catalog OR the visor instructions.

What I want to know is, is that correct? Has anyone else installed the visor and had to buy these extra parts to make it fit correctly?  Or am I being played?
If that's correct I'll still be upset, but at least I will know it's not just me that has to pay for this unexpected cost.

Jeez Gary, stay away from the dealer buddy.

One of the first things I did to my 05 heritage was install the visors. My headlight visor did the same. It moved a bit and rattled like crazy. I went to a local hose and seal supplier and bought an o-ring for about a couple of bucks. Worked great.

Tsani, I'm beginning to agree with you.

The part number of the visor is 67791-91T

I'd get rid of them. The added weight and wind drag is just slowing you down.

Keep'em and paint the bike red!

The bike IS red and it's a Tri Glide, how much slower do you want me to go! ...............  at least I won't fall over when it stops.
