Passing Lamp Aiming
Published by glider (Community Liaison)
Published date: 07-28-2007
To re aim the passing lights you have to drop the directional markers with the removal of the two allen bolts in the top of their base facing upwards. A long "T" handle allen wrench works well here. Once you drop them , you'll find a 9/16 nut on the base of the driving light stem in there with the wire going through the center of the mount post. I cut a slot in a deep 9/16 socket so this wire can pass through the slot and you can get the socket on the nut properly (see pic below).

Loosen the nut just a bit and adjust the passing lamps to a more desirable position. I use the horizontal bars on the garage door to do this and aim them close (or a bit higher) to the low beam shining on the door.

It's best done at night so you can roll the bike onto the road to test their positioning before putting things back together.
