Headlight visor mount |
Lead | ||
|
I have a used headlight visor with no instructions to install. Since I have installed it, I have this annoying rattle that pops up every so often. I can shift the visor around some and the rattle goes away temp, but re-appears after a few miles. I may not have it in right. It appeared to just snap in between the headlight rim and housing. My question is how do these mount? Not sure what brand it is either.

Man, I don't know, Stan.......
Mine is a Cobra brand. Was on the bike when I bought it. Has never moved or rattled. Sorry, I can't help. Dan |

Stan, some years ago I bought a headlight visor from J.C. Whitney. It also came with no mounting instructions. I slipped it between the headlight and its housing, and it rattled badly. Then I bent it to a smaller radius. With the little bit of pressure that added to the fit, it has not rattled since.

Thanks, Fred. I'll give that a try 1st. I read on another board where a guy pulled the outer trim ring off and glued it on with a little bead of clear silicone gasket maker on the back side. That way it comes off with the trim ring when changing bulbs.

Stan,
I put a headlight visor on mine also. I got it from Custom World and it came with no instructions. I mounted it under the ring and it has never rattled or moved at all. Putz |

DAWG2 is on the right track. I too also had installed a visor that rattled. I applied a small bead of clear silicone under the visor edge and headlight ring.
Been there for years. No rattle and it does not move.
