aiming spot lights
just put a set of spots on my 97 fatboy, stock frontend ,and following the aiming steps fromthe "idiot " book i went to aim them. well here i am ,the will not aim low enough to be even with headlight as per instructions . it seems that the spot light bucket will not rotate forward enough to allow correct alignment . has anyone encountered this problem, got solutions,ideas or thoughts........

I put a set of these on my wife's Softail. I really like them, especially at night. I did have to run new wires under the tank from the battery because these are actual High/Low beam lights and use a bit more power than the stock wiring could take. I installed a double throw toggle switch in place of the single pole stock switch and installed a 12v relay so it disables the power and the lights go off when she turns the bike off. Center position on the new switch is off so she can select between down for low and up for high beam. Because of her windshield I also had to get the 1" forward offsets to mount them on. I didn't even wire the small 5W low-intensity running light in these. I was thinking of putting these on my 09 Ultra in place of the stock lights. On my 09, to make the left light useful at night I had to turn it more towards the left. Now the front of my bike kind of looks like the guy with "crazy eyes". The plus with these lights is that you can get a new bulb just about anywhere for these auto parts or wally world. They also come with or with out a visor trim ring and are fully adjustable. The mounting stud that comes with them is just enough to mount like the stock lights, but its not hollow to run wires in.
Just my 2cents.
I am curious what others are using as optional or replacement lighting.
