#41807 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Headlight adjustment, which screw? 4 Years, 8 Months ago   After adding the Memphis hardware, my high beam lost some of her distance. I know I've read it here before, but which screw, left or right adjust the headlamp up and down? Thanks in advance, BB.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #41813 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Headlight adjustment, which screw? 4 Years, 8 Months ago   BB-- There are two, one on either side of the bottom of the light (but you know that). If memory serves, when I adjusted mine, there is no real up/down or right/left screw...you just loosen one and the beam moves up & to the right, then you loosen the other and it moves up & to the left It's just a matter of playing with both screws until you get it centered & at the level you want. Park it 25 feet back from a garage boor, put wood under the kickstand to keep the bike as level as possible, and just play with it while watching the garage door for position.

Thanks, might have to jump on that after I get home, too much stuff still left to do before I go.

RK After playin with two on the weekend visor implant etc I seem to think RK is right on The pivot point is at the top and to the right of center the two screws are equal apart and close to the bottom I remember fiddling with the adjustment a while back after I put in the tribar and the visor... ....and figuring the instructions in the manual were wacky and gave up and adjusted by playin with the beam on the wall..as RK said.. Adjusters would have to be at 6 oclock for up and down...3 oclock for left/ right and the clip attachment at 12 oclock to work as the manual says   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/09/19 12:15 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #41870 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

I thought you just had to push the button on the garage door opener..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
