Visibility - head light black-out area

[Steve 0080]

Not sure I am reading this right... but here in the Blue Hair state...you better have everything on you can on the front and the rear of your scoot.... these folks will try to kill you!!!! I run with EVERYTHING on in the day time, as others on this board. If a cager told me that my lights were blinding them in the day light hours, I would fall over laughing !!!!!

Each of our headlight assemblies (left and right) should have two adjustments... one for vertical and one for horizontal.

Are some bikes different than this?

I hear you man....and I appreciate the heads up....I am half way across the country from the F6B now but will give it a stare down test with the High Beams on when I get near it again. I want to be seen but not at the cost of hindering oncoming traffic or even just being a nuisance. Just getting used to the bike....spectacular beast that it is....and am wondering now if I have underestimated the intensity of the lights.

Will check it out at the first chance and thank you for the heads up.

Where in the front is this magic knob...?

[Steve 0080]

There is ONLY one adjustment... for verticle....turn your bars either way to full lock and look towards the back of the head lights,,, the adjustment knob is there....

This picture is a little hard to follow... but one knob is behind the low beams and the other is behind the high beams. These adjustments move the entire headlight housing... so both low and high beams move together; you can't adjust lows independently of highs.

Now this is on a F6 ?

Now this is on a F6 ?

The service manual doesn't differentiate in this case.

Oh wait... arghhh... I may be confused... ummm, scratch what I posted above. Sorry!

[srt8-in-largo]

Wait again... unscratch my scratch

I couldn't find that picture a minute ago and got confused... it's on page 3-23 of the GL1800B service manual... and yes, this is for the F6. My bike has a thumbwheel for the vertical adjustment and a phillips screw for horizontal.

Where are you guys getting the idea that the F6 is vertical ONLY?
