Phooey Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Ok guys. Some of you know that I have recently lowered my FZ1. Two questions: a) would this lowering affect my headlight alignment? and b) is there an easy way to check if it is out?I am asking simply because I am getting a few cars flashing me at night and I didn't on the old bike! Wondering if the headlight is a bit high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Headlight aim can be affected by lowering the bike as dropping the back will make the front point higher Setting the aim is not always an easy thing to do you ideally need a light tester thingy that MOT man uses I would be tempted to just lower the light a bit until drivers stop flashing but so you can still see PS: Thanks for the donation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
