Default 2023 Low Rider S Headlight

So last night was my first time riding my new bike at night. Well I was kind of shocked on how bad the light output was. Maybe I can adjust it up? Anyone have this problem or know a way to adjust it up? It seemed like it may have been pointing down too much. Or is after market the way to go.

I’m a bit biased, but you’d be better off getting rid of the stock setup. Moons sells a mount and 5.75” bucket which allows you to run any normal dyna headlight. And it gets rid of the god awful speed screen that comes stock.

but again…I’m biased. I think speed screens and quarter fairings are the worst thing around.

currently looking for a 5.75” daymaker or JW speaker adaptive light if anyone is looking to part with one….

I’ll send you a picture in 15 or 20, currently enjoying a couple local IPAs at the closest watering hole.

You should always be using your high beams when you can, lows during the day. Your headlights always on anyways, might as well use it to its full potential. Just make sure it’s adjusted correctly.
I also use the Halo Harley front turn signals that give off plenty of light.
