    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hey there everyone, how high do you guys ajust your headlights?

what are your methods?
 
It depends on make, model, and year of the bike, some have only a adjusting screw for adjusting left and right, you have to move the whole assembly to adjust up and down, while others have screws to adjust both up and down.
typically the adjusting screws will be found on the trim ring.

The last time I wished to check my aim, I typed "standards for aiming motorcycle headlamps (then headlights)" into a search engine. There was lots of advice and OEM standards laid out in simple language. Remember to aim while you or someone your weight sits on the bike.
 
Re: headlight adjustment

For right/left adjustment, I set it to center on my lane. For up and down(I do this at night) While riding, I turn on the high beam and push the nacelle up or down to find the max reach of the light. The I rotate it down a little bit until I get a good pattern density on the road ahead (usually a distance ahead appropriate for about 60 mph) Low beam is whatever the high beam setting results in.

Max, There is an article in the October issue of Motorcyclist magazine addressing headlight adjustment. I could mail you the article if you aren't able to find a copy.
