low beam height

[ssls6]

My low beams don't seem high enough even with the electrical dash adjustment set all the way up. Can the lights be mechanically adjusted higher?

Service manual pg 3-22 shows the proceedure and 22-5 shows a pretty good pic of the adjuster. The directions to turn the adjuster are bass akwards..CCW for up is correct.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I have the book but made an assumption that Honda limited the travel to what was available electrically. I figured getting more was going to be a hack. I should have looked first
:oops:

I prefer them as high as I can get away with 99% of the time. When people start flashing me, I'm too high.

Just a FWIW. The manual adjustment should be done with the electric adjuster near the full up or highest position. This way when/if you ever do load the bike up and add a pillion, you'll still have enough downward adjustment to compensate for the resulting increased beam hight.

Is that looking at the adjuster from the bottom, or the top???
