How do you adjust headlight on Honda vtx1300?

Answer 1

I have a 2006 Honda VTX1300R

The headlight assembly has two holes for adjusting screws in the bottom at about 4 oclock and 8 oclock. Insert a Phillips screwdriver until it "catches" the screw. Turning it clockwise will raise the light beam on that side. It is not easy. however; this does not always work.

I am not a certified motorcycle mechanic. This is what I did after five months of trying everything else. Do it at your own risk.

My bike's adjustment came from the dealer so far off, that I had to remove the complete headlight assembly form the bike. Then removed the black bracket from the headlight assembly. Slightly bent the black bracket where the screws go to the bike. I did this by holding each side of the black bracket plate on a press, and carefully and slightly bending the "holes" where the screws hold the black bracket to the base on the bike. Then mounted everything back. Now I can ride my bike at night.

Hope this helps.
