How to Install a Headlight Visor on a Yamaha Motorcycle

With the rising interest in vintage-style motorcycles, many motorcyclists are searching for ways to bring retro-styling to their modern machines. One of the easiest methods to add a touch of class to a Yamaha V-Star cruiser is the addition of a headlight visor, a metal accessory that installs into your motorcycle's headlight to evoke the feel of a vintage speed machine. As an added benefit, installing the visor is a simple procedure that requires only a screwdriver.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdrivers
• Headlight visor

Instructions

1. Remove the outer trim ring from the headlight. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the retaining bolt or bolts from the trim ring and pull the ring off of the headlight assembly.

2. Place the headlight visor on top of the headlight. Mount the trim ring over the visor and the headlight. Insert and loosely tighten the trim ring retaining bolt or bolts with a screwdriver.

3. Adjust the visor from side to side until it is aligned evenly above the headlight. Tighten the trim ring retaining bolt or bolts with a screwdriver.
