Daymaker

[Marsha]

When I was riding the other night on the back roads, I had several cars that flashed their lights at me as if I had my lights on bright. Which I didn't. I have a '14 Street Glide with Daymaker installed at dealer. Is there an adjustment needed? What's your thoughts?

Adjustment may be needed. Several things can cause your light to "re aim" itself:
Tire pressure, shock adjustment, 1up vs 2 up can make a difference.
There are 2 screws at 9 o'clock for vertical and 12 o'clock for horizontal just behind the trip ring.
The instructions for aiming are in the shop manual if you have one.

I noticed the same think last Friday night as my son & I were going from West Yellowstone, Montana to Ennis Montana. It was a 60 mile ride & I had about 4 cars blink there lights at me. I am running a Daymaker LED Headlight & Daymaker LED Aux Lamps. I think it was the Daymaker LED Aux Lamps that they were objecting to. I do know that if you are taking a right hand corner with the Aux Lamps on they will shine high.

I installed mine myself and no adjustment was needed. I verified that with the dealership when I had the bike in the shop for my 5,000 mile maintenance. I have also had people flash their lights at me and I smile because that means you can see me. I don't know if it could be the brightness or frequency of the light, or the relationship of how high the light is from the ground and it projecting into an oncoming vehicle, or if the driver of that vehicle has turned their drivers seat into a lounge chair.I flash my high beam back at them at night when I get flashed. They are called Daymakers for a reason they work.

I do love my bright lights I will say! Thanks for your comments

Well that's interesting....I have the Truck-lite and ride with them on bright and no one flashes me....but I can sure see a heckuva long ways in front. When I'm riding with a group, they want me in front so they can see where we're going...

Do you notice more shake in your fairing since you installed the Truck Lite?
