Springer Classic Headlight Adjustment

Hello all, I searched high and low here for the answer but alas I can't find it.. If I missed it I apologize. As the title says the headlight is aimed to high and needs to be lowered. How do I do it??

Thanks all

If your Springer is anything like mine, you need to loosen the bolt that holds the headlight bucket to the mount and re-aim the light and re-tighten the bolt.

I've found with mine that messing with the bolt is a waste of time. I just grab the light bucket and force it in the desired direction. Very miner movement is all thats required.

I measure from ground up to the center of the light, find a wall 20-25' away and mark the measurement you just took. Adjust the light to the center of that mark.
