INSPECTION
Verify correct front and rear tire pressure, put the motorcycle on a level floor or pavement area with minimum light, put the motorcycle 25 ft (7.6 m) away from a screen or wall measuring the distance from directly below the front axle to the base of the screen/wall, draw a horizontal line 35 in. (0.9 m) above the floor on the screen/wall, load the motorcycle with a rider, and passenger and any cargo normally on the bike when it is in use so that the weight will compress the motorcycle suspension as it would be in normal use, stand the motorcycle upright as it would be when being ridden i.e. with both tires resting on the floor or pavement and with the front wheel oriented in straight forward alignment, turn ignition the switch ON, set the handlebar headlamp switch to the HIGH beam position and then check the light beam for proper alignment. The main beam, which is a broad, flat pattern of light, should be centered equally above and below the horizontal line on the wall or screen with the light beam pointed straight ahead and when properly adjusted the headlamp will project an equal area of light to both the right and the left of center. Adjust if necessary to obtain the foregoing light pattern and placement.
ADJUSTMENT
All Models But FXDWG
Remove the snap plug on top of the headlamp housing, loosen the adjusting nut on top of the headlamp, move and adjust the headlamp to obtain the light pattern on the wall or screen as is desired, tighten the adjusting nut being careful not to move the headlamp and then recheck the alignment and re-install the plug.

Loosen the horizontal adjusting bolt so you can adjust the headlamp beam side to side, loosen the vertical adjusting bolt so you can adjust the headlamp up or down, align the headlamp to obtain the desired pattern on the screen or wall, tighten the bolts and recheck the alignment and light focus pattern.
