Put a 2X4 or two under the tire(s) to level fore and aft.
(or rear whichever has to be raised or lowered.
Pretty simple really.
Tire pressures have to be adjusted to said riding category
Now adjust left and right withholding bike up.
A chain or engine hoist stand is a good tool and purrfect for this job..
At this point, you will have centralized the location of protons dwn stream from the source of emitted candle pwr.
You may have to adjust both relevant angles a couple times to get it purffect.
You can place a target at the end of the spectrum.- This helps a lot.!
Keep adjusting the spring loaded fasteners under the hood or behind the headlight basil until bike is upright and level whilst you weight is on it.
This takes a while as you have to keep re-leveling the bike.
This takes patience you, as you have to adjust the screws. move the bike, adjust the screws etc etc etc.
The foronce here is just like getting your L and L correct ( latitude and longitudes.)

Your owners manual tells you how to do that! If you don't have one go to the H-D website and Owners tab, where you can download one. Prize off the round chrome cover above your headlamp, slacken the nut underneath and adjust to your heart's content! Replace cover and refresh with your favourite beverage.
