List of required parts...
Thinking more on my Euro trip I have realised I need to make some adjustments to the bike and acquire some more bits before I go. In order of urgency which I need:
1: brighter indicators (original storm or after market, front and rear) May have some sorted but pipe up anyway. Would like flush mounts for front
2: Rentect luggage rack. I have the mount bars just no grab rail with luggage rack.
3. Headlight beam adjuster lens.
Could do with them ASAP. Planned trip in 2nd week of Sept.
I did have other things in mind but now I have come to list them I have forgot all of them Will add them if I remember.
Thanks in advance

There are adjusters for up/down & left/right on the back of the headlight.Headlight beam adjuster lens.
Hope you've got spare wine carrying capacity for the return trip

You need to mask off the 'kick up' on the beam pattern, beam benders are the easy option, you can do it with gaffer tape but it can be a bit of a faf about,you'll be able to see the beam pattern against a wall or garage door, then then you just move the beam bender/gaffer tape around until the kick up disappears and your left with a flatline,its much easier to take it to a testing station and use their beam tester to do it.Ckennedy wrote:Do I just need to change it to point left then? or is there more to it?Wicky wrote:There are adjusters for up/down & left/right on the back of the headlight.Headlight beam adjuster lens.

Think a lens is an easier option. Anyone got one?

It's easy I will show you later .
Re: List of required parts...
Just do as Hairy suggested. All that is needed is a triangular shaped bit of gaffa tape or something to block the beam.
