AnswerPhysical adjustments:
Sportster -
Aim the beam by loosening the headlamp mounting nut and position the lamp to correctly adjust the beam of light in relation to the horizontal line. At the same time, turn the headlamp right or left to direct the beam straight ahead. Tighten the clamp nut after the lamp is correctly adjusted and install remaining fork parts.

Electra Glide, Duo-Glide and Servi-Car -
The lamp can be tilted up or down to aim it in relation to the horizontal line by turning vertical adjusting screw in or out. The lamp can be aimed to the right or leftt in relation to the front wheel by turning the horizontal adjustment screw in or out.

Owners manual suggests:
Seat a rider (to simulate riding conditions) then measure the exact height of the beam. Draw a horizontal line on the garage wall or screen and position the motorcycle on a level surface with headlamp approximately 25 ft. away from the test pattern. Turn on the high beam and check beam for height and direction. The top of the main beam of light should register even with, but no higher than the horizontal line of the test pattern.
Be certain that tires are properly inflated!
