Aiming Passing lights

Where in the manual does it give the procedure? My service manual shows the removal and reinstall, and parts breakdown but no procedure for adjusting. Thanks for the reply.

Especially if you're aiming 'em at installation. If you have remove the turn signals (on the Touring, anyway) you need that stupidly expensive socket with the slot for the wires. Most techs just reef on 'em and bend the mounts slightly, taking care not to let things go too far. Always worked for me in the past... on the new bike I actually had to buy the tool. Found some guy making and sellin' 'em cheap on eBay.
While your tweaking lighting, if that bike has a replaceable headlight bulb check out a 100w 55 H4. Same wattage on low beam but 100w high beam lights things up nicely. Gets a bit warm so I only use it when I'm moving. 100w 55 H4s are usually readily available at metric dealers.

There's a procedure in the Touring manuals... have the bike upright 20 ft from a wall, garage door, whatever. I align the height of the passing lamp beam slightly lower than the center of the low beam and have both lamps just *slightly* to the right of center. This prevents oncoming glare and lights up the right berm. I rarely get high beams flashed even though I have 55w halogens in the passing lamps. On the occasion I do I give 'em a dose of the 100w high beam... all three lamps are wired to stay on with low or high beam... and listen to their retinas sizzling on the way by.

I bet your stator is crying when all three are on. Think that is why the factory didn't wire it that way..................?

I reckon that lamp assembly is one of the daftest things Harley builds. They probably have a jig into which everything is assembled, including the wiring, in a distant dusty corner of the factory where Joe has built them since he was a lad in short trousers. It's as if they have never given a thought to adjusting the pointing of any of those lights and Joe isn't about to change what he does or how he does it! One small alteration would enable us to disconnect the wiring and use a normal tool.
