    Lousy Hi-Beam

    I find when Im riding at night that my hi beam is horrible. I can see OK with the low beam on, but as soon as I switch to HI, the majority of the light from the headlight sprays all over the place, mostly not forward. It actually decreases my ability to see because most of the light reflects back into my eyes as glare off of the pavement. Can I get suggestions about the best way to remedy this? I have an '80 gs450e, presumably with the stock headlight.

    Thanks,
    Chad

    Me too

    I've noticed EXACTLY the same thing! and......I've noticed it on a number of the other bikes I've owned (maybe all) so I imagine it's pretty typical.
    1980 GS1100E....Number 15!

      My 450L did the same thing. There's a screw on the headlight bucket for changing the angle of your light. Give that a whirl and see what you get.

      Worse case you could buy a used headlight bucket off ebay for cheap.

      Good luck!
