#83728 Sniper13 (User) The long, long arm of the law Fresh Boarder Posts: 43 Adjusting headlight 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Seeing that I work the night shift and doing a lot of riding at night I have noticed that my headlight on low beam only shines about 30 feet in front on me. Needless to say I have managed to scare the out of myself numerous times and deer, coyotes and various other critters are running rampite in my area. How do you aim the headlight slightly higher. Oh and running with high beam on all the time tends to po the locals. Now I am planning on getting passing lights soon but hey I'm just a lowly public servant and paid accordingly.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/09 00:06 By Sniper13.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #83730 depdogg271 (User) 2003 Roadstar Silverado Fresh Boarder Posts: 54 Re:Adjusting headlight 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Read this thread. It's a place to start... I actually had to lower mine back down after doing this cause the high beam was too high and I couldn't see the road. But it's definitely better than where it originally was. http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/func,view/Itemid,187/catid,49/id,74146/   Logged     03 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #83778 Clifford (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 499 Re:Adjusting headlight 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Since weight compresses the shocks, the headlight needs to be adjusted with the normal load in it. Put the bike with the front axel 25ft from a wall, bike perpendicular to the wall, and upright. Measure fromthe ground to the center of the headlight lens, put a horizontal line on the wall at this height. The R* left adjustment screw is for vertical; put the center of the high beam on the line. The right adjustment screw is for side to side, put the center of the beam straight in front of the bike.

I get flashed off every night I drive. They are very bright. Had my brother ride my roadie at night towards me and it PO'd me. They are bright as all get out but don't really add that much forward light they spread it out good though.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #83905 newroadie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 203 Re:Adjusting headlight 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   You might want to think about turning your passing lights off when you ride with a group at night. It makes the ride much more enjoyable for the people in front of you. I have had to turn my mirrors to avoid the lights behind me when passing lights are on behind me. Just a thought.   Logged     \\[IMG\\]http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii12/26curry/DSC05909-1.jpg;size=450]   The administrator has disabled public write access.
