Headlight Issue
Bought a higher wattage bulb and replaced it without any issues.
When I put it all back together I noticed I can move the headlight when I try to twist it. I think it will vibrate when I ride too.
Went to my local dealership and tried it on their Sportster and it was definitely tighter.
Everything lined up and went back exactly how it came apart.
Any thoughts?

True dat.
I ran a Heavy Duty 100/55 watt H4 bulb (factory is 60/55 iirc) in my Softail. The high beam is bright as Hell and it lasted a couple years, but it pulled too much current for the socket I was using. I knew about this being possible, but I didn't have any problems - until the insulation on the wire burned away.
It's the ground prong that's melted:
