As it has been pointed out before on the forums once you are push steering in a corner any light mounted to handlebars turns the opposite way you are and rises up as you lean the bike over...

Correct. And, since you turn a motorcycle by countersteering, when you make a left turn on a SG (or every single Harley except a RG, btw), the SG's lights point to the right, and when you make a right turn the SG's lights point to the left, until you get all the way through the turn and then they point straight ahead, just like your car.

And a Road Glide.

Actually, all of these bikes have plenty of "spread" on the headlights, and you'll be able to see just fine. Really.
