Headlight misalignment...

**trip** · 10-05-2015, 08:23 PM

Hey Jesse... thanks for letting me know about my left headlight being brighter than my right this past Saturday.

I checked into it and found that my headlights were misaligned. On a GoldWing, there is an alignment knob to bring both headlights up and down, but there is also a separate adjustment for each headlight.

The knob to do this is located next to the forks inside the fairing right in back of the headlights. Took me 5 minutes to get both headlights evenly aligned with each other.

Thanks,
Trip

Glad it was something simple. I'll probably have that windshield coming later this week. The instructions look fairly simple, much better than I thought.

If I can do it.... you certainly can do it Jesse.

I never noticed the lights Trip. Must be because you were never behind me. Nobody likes to ride behind a noisy Harley. Especially on a Wing. You'd have to watch your tach to know when to shift gears.

I don't mind riding behind Harleys Mitch. Especially yours. The noise doesn't bother me. Now riding behind Liz.... that's another story. She throws fireballs at you. Lol.

She won't be throwing fireballs anytime soon. At least until she gets herself and her bike patched up.
