Headlight aim

[Guest]

(Tried searching for this, couldn't find it. I'll apologize in advance if I missed a previous thread)

What's the proper aim point for a headlight alignment?

An internet search found a couple different numbers for the low beam - a 2" drop @ 25 feet: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/ho...ing/index.html,

or a 2" drop at 17 feet: http://www.webmaster10.com/ldr/headlight_aiming.html

Most of us would probably prefer aiming as far out as possible, but don't forget the light intensity falls off too.

I just might split the difference, but what say the collective?

bump -

Anyone actually measure their headlight alignment, or just eyeball it?

I just eyeball it, I pull it up almost as high as it will go without binding on the wires, even thats not high enough to blind anyone. Mines closer to the 25' spec
