Even if you don't have that screw, and I don't, my headlight remains fixed in position. Still looking for the adjustment hardware.I was gonna suggest .."take it apart"... and see what it looks like it "does"..
I am discovering more and more the engineering that went into these bikes, no matter what model, is a step above.. and hard to believe. But as we discover time and time again.. these 40-50 year old bikes are still running and on the road due to the attention to detail from the manufacture...
Even down to the small screw on the side of the headlight....
Depends on what LED you get, some are pretty bright some are not.I'll mess with it tomorrow. I feel like I need to raise the beam slightly anyway. I just ordered an LED for the brake light (and a strobe gizmo), wondering if an LED on the front would give me better illumination...
It will, by a long shot. I got a very nice LED headlight from Speedmotoco, and I can honestly say that the light output and beam coverage from my low beam is better than both of the halogen headlights on high beam in my '84 MercedesI'll mess with it tomorrow. I feel like I need to raise the beam slightly anyway. I just ordered an LED for the brake light (and a strobe gizmo), wondering if an LED on the front would give me better illumination...
"ain't nobody got time for that!" :lol: :lol:Unless the lens is yellowing on the inside surface, if there is plastic, it can be sanded and polished.. i suggest using a quality "UV" protectant clear once completed ....the ones on my minivan (180,000 miles) were so bad, you cold scrape the flaming plastic with a razor blade.. I think I started with 320 grit and worked upto 1500 wet..
And yes,,you CAN polish a turd!
Oh yeah good point... I may get an LED just to limit the battery draw then, at least that's what I'll tell my wife when she asks why I bought another thing for the bike! :-DA Halogen bulb might be more draw than the system can tolerate and still keep the battery fully charged, not sure, which is why many have gone to an LED. The lenses on my car are too far gone to revive, it's been done twice and the yellow reappeared more quickly the second time. At 16 years old, they're done and a pair of replacements would probably be worth close to half of the current value of the car (which is worth far more to me than anyone else with 245,000 miles on it).
:-D I think mine took less than an hour, maybe closer to 30 minutes, it wasn't that bad..."ain't nobody got time for that!" :lol: :lol:
I was talking about all that sanding and sanding and sanding:-D I think mine took less than an hour, maybe closer to 30 minutes, it wasn't that bad...
