2000 955i Headlights too low

Hi All

This is my first post on here though I have owned my bike for just over a year now.

My bike has the Triumph fly screen fitted and the bug eye headlights will not aim properly without fouling the bottom of the flyscreen. I have fitted some 6mm spacers which has improved it a bit, but not enough. Seems very odd considering it's all standard stuff.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Glen.

 

It doesn't work, hence the post mate. Lights are still too low.

 

That's what I have done by adding spacers under the screen. It was a really fiddly job and didn't improve matters enough.

I was wondering if there was something I am missing regarding the headlight mounting arrangement that might give me more scope for adjustment - they seem to be too high up the yoke.

I was hoping someone would say "I had that problem and fixed it like this.........."

Thanks guys, the bracket is hollow underneath to take the wiring, it would look awful upside down. I agree with jtd in that it seems too long, perhaps there was a shorter one for use with the fly screen. The profile photo is the same as it is now without the spacers, so must be an optical illusion.

I used the bike on Friday night in the dark (because my CBX broke down! Jap crap) and though lower than ideal, it's not too bad so I think I can live with it. I rarely use it at night anyway.
