Since I got my bike back from the shop it seems the headlight is aimed lower than before.

With the distinct cut-off at the top of the beam it's downright scary to right at night with just the low beam lamp shining. Plenty of light just in front of me, where it's too late to mean anything, and I feel like I'm plunging blindly into the darkness. (Which I am, actually.)

Not much better on high beam. It's aimed so low that anything over about 30 mph means I'm over-driving my headlight.

Hi Mickey,

It sure is ajustable. The Honda shop manual shows the ajustment knob location from the inside view. All you need to do is just reach under with your hand and you will feel the small knob.

I'd take it back and tell them to fix it. They did a lot of work for you, and need to get this right also.

Please be careful. You don't want to hurt yourself or more wildlife.

M-

My 2 bits worth is that the globe may not be seated properly. Take it back and get them to find the problem and set it right. Dennis, do you also have the distances for setting headlamps? This may be helpful when it goes back to the shop, as you can tell them how far it is out.

Thanks for the info! It's not worth going back to the shop. I'll adjust it the way I want it.

I like the sharp low-beam cutoff. It reminds me of European-spec car headlights. It just really sucks when it's aimed too low.

I never worry about "distances". I adjust headlights until I like them. If I get "flashed" too often I know I need to move them down a bit.

I found the adjuster and adjusted my headlight with the help of this forum. But now it seems my headlight is not staying where I had set it. It seems to be back down where it was before I adjusted it. Is this possible, or is it my imagination? Is there a lock on the adjuster that I missed? Hmm, wait a minute...... I do recall having set the rear shocks up a notch. Could that have made that much difference? Guess I better set the shocks down again and try it. Maybe that's why the original tool kit doesn't have the spanner to adjust the shocks. After spending for the overpriced "real" tool kit I guess I felt compelled to use the spanner. It does work neat though. Can't say as I noticed any difference in the suspension, just the headlight aim. Have ridden to work this week. Just have to watch the ice patches and not get crossed up going over them. Haven't had to test the ABS yet, thank goodness. Pavement nearly all dry. Biggest ice patch is at the end of my drive. Can't wait 'til Spring. Hopefully my mileage will improve then, too.
