I've brought over to Spain a 2006 Honda ST1300A from the UK. The headlights need to vonform to Spanish regs i.e. beam points to the right. Can the headlights be adjusted or do I need to buy a complete new assembly made for europe? In terms of fitting, are all the ST1300s headlights the same. Does anyone have a European standard HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY for sale? Any help will be much appreciated.

This is from another member on the site and probably a U.S. spec so assuming they are similar.

Notice that the top tab is not straight up but is offset. This makes the headlight assembly universal so that it can be used in left hand or right hand driving Countrys. Most motorcycles are like that. The ST1300 headlight is designed to create a flat beam with no up tilt on either side. So you are good to go. if anything you might have to adjust the two outer (big) knobs to swing the hot spot a little to the right. Do the adjustment using the high beam since it is more focused and you can see a defined spot. then check the low beam.....
