#142522 Stocked (User) Wayne Platinum Boarder Posts: 1221 Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 6 Months ago   Found an old thread with some measurements from Musky about aiming your headlight but couldn't find anything on where the passing lights would normally be aimed. Any thoughts you guys?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #142523 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 6 Months ago   I put my bike 15 feet from the wall and turned everything on. I aimed the passing lamps just outside and 12" lowering than the headlight beam. I read it somewhere and have no idea if that is the correct way, but it worked out well for me.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #142595 MikelJay (User) Living in the land of confusion.... Gold Boarder Posts: 873 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   You can aim them?!? Seriously.... I've never touched them. the "spread" or pattern of light thats thrown is more than acceptable to me, especially when I "kick in" the high beam.....   Logged     Mike `06 Roadstar Silverado Lenoir City, Tn Patriot Guard   The administrator has disabled public write access. #142598 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Mine shut off when you put on the high beam. It is a law here in Indiana. I dont know about elsewhere.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #142604 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   The guy at the dealership I got my bike from said the same thing, that they would shut off when I switched to high beam. But mine don't, they stay on all the time, after the engine has been started. Of course, the little toggle switch can turn them off, but I leave them on all the time. I figure the more lights showing, the better chance the cagers will see me.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #142605 cass (User) If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Expert Boarder Posts: 477 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Mine stay on all the time also and I've never tried to aim them. They do provide quite a bit of additional lighting....kinda like the aux lights/fog lights on the jeep. I turn them off when I run during cooler rides especially if i have my electric liner plugged in. Figgure its better to have less draw in the colder days. Course, its a 2006 so the charging system should be adiquate to run all the lights and carry the light load of the liner. cass   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #142607 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............ Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   yeah I need to aim mine BAD. right now they look like a discount boob job.

I thought I got the wrong hot wire behind the headlight?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #142626 MikelJay (User) Living in the land of confusion.... Gold Boarder Posts: 873 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   Mine stay on all the time too, like i said before. When the boy put his lightbar and spots on, the dealer wired them up, said they were supposed to stay on all the time. I know on my Yamaha 650, the spots shut off when I turned on the high beams...... Just a thought.....   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/11/29 16:18 By MikelJay.   Mike `06 Roadstar Silverado Lenoir City, Tn Patriot Guard   The administrator has disabled public write access. #142719 VikingWarhorse (User) American by birth-Viking by blood Gold Boarder Posts: 907 Re:Aiming Passing Lamps 3 Years, 5 Months ago   I had passing lights on my other bike and what I did was take it out the country where I seem to be alot at night and aimed them at the sides of the road to "light up" deer and what not. Not a big fan of aiming them at a wall. Take it out at night and aim 'em. Get the light right where yaa want it.   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access.
