Headlamp alignment


Phooey

Recommended Posts

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?

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 :thumb:

It wasn't much but you are very welcome. A couple of quid every now and then isn't much but might help
