Okay, see that. But another stupid question is if the adjusters are used to adjust the light beam, then why when I remove the adjusters? With the adjusters removed how would I adjust my light beam?

 

Sometimes you need to adjust the top one to bring the assembly in tighter to the fairing, so they don't shake. You can do that with the assembly out of the fairing.

Just follow the google link I provided and buy a 4.5mm socket, and adjust them that way.

Lowes, Sears, Ebay, Amazon

Or, if you're not understanding this, then maybe you need someone to help, in person.

 

So I tried to adjust my daymaker this afternoon. My 3/16 deep socket was just a bit too long. I went to Lowes where they had a 4.5 mm, bought it and it was too small, it would not fit the stud. Tried a 5mm and it was too big. So no luck so far.

 

I had the same thing happen. I took the Daymakers out, and used a file to correct the size of the adjusters, so a 4.5mm would fit. They are not the same adjusters as the stock ones, as they are a little longer than the stock screws.

You would think they would have a little better quality control on such an expensive part.

 

too small? is that too small in diameter or too short in length?

I'm thinking women would laugh at this discussion.... lol ;-)

 

How about this? It's not very big around but it sure is short!!!

 

Lmao!!

 

Sorry for the confusion. The 3/16 socket was too large in diameter so it turned on the bolt. The 4.5mm was too small in diameter so it would not fit onto the bolt, and again the 5mm was too large in diameter. It does seem as though the bolts on the daymakers have a ridge at the top. I am going to look at the OEMs. Really don't want to remove the fairing as we are leaving today after lunch for a long weekend of riding.

 

wow, sounds like the daymakers adjusters are a spatial oddity.... sure would be helpful if HD actually hosted a manufacturers forum so owners could get answers directly from the engineers. yeah, damn sure don't want to remove the fairing as I spent a couple hours trying to get mine back on....
