Looking at the headlight from the front , turn the top phillips head screw counter clockwise to lower the beam.
Measure from the ground to the middle of the lense , mark this on a wall , mark a spot 4" below the original mark.
You have to be 25 feet away from the wall , flat ground , etc.....
Sit on the bike and jounce it a couple times , you want the strongest part of the beam at the 4" mark you made under the level mark you made first.
Only use the low beam to aim , the high beam will take care of itself.
This is the spec in most states , 4" drop at 25 feet on low beam.

To some it might, But I've lowered the last two touring bikes one inch in the rear and actually felt like it handles better. I have never lowered the front of my bike. Was told by one of the best HD mechanics I ever met, he didn't recommend lowering the front. Said he won't do it!

What about left and right. Do you want to be straight out from the bike?
