Thanks for the suggestions guys. I revised the pics of the stainless ring and the tabs on the back. I really don't intend on removing the wide chrome mounting ring and the adjusting mechanism. I plan to leave them intact while I do this. Again this is a generic visor not F&S Kaw. I'm thinking of opening the two tabs circled in pic, move ring out just enough to get the small visor lip under it.

    I must agree with my learned fellow 800 rider on the 800 you remove the chrome trim ring, and with a F&S visor there came a length of spring steel. You slide the visor in from the backside, and then put the spring steel in place and it holds the visor in place. If you think this is a royal PITA then wait till you do the spotlights.......

you have to pop the headlight out of the actual ring..the mount clips just flip up.  Then you slip the visor into the headlight ring from the inside (you might have to form it a little to get it right)  Then just put the headlight back into the ring.  get everything oriented correctly before putting the mounting clips back in.  It's kind of a pain to do by your self...a third hand would help just to hold things in place...I did my headlight and spotlights a few weeks ago....I accidentally rotated my spot lights 180 degrees when putting them back in...not sure if that really matters on them, though...DOH!

edit:  after review your pictures a little better, your headlight is different than mine.  however you can do it, you need to remove the headlight ring and slip the visor in from the inside and then put the headlight back in behind it....make sure you mark your adjustment screws first so you can put them back to the same settings.

I recently got a headlight visor and I'm trying to figure out how to install it. It looks to me that the stainless ring that's crimped around the glass must come off, at least from the top edge. Is this correct? The visor is a generic one, not Kawasaki. It has a narrow lip (the white is a protective covering). Enclosed are some pics. Thanks
