How do you feel about Riding at Night?

[Badger]

It was knew and I assumed everything was perfect.

I think that headlight targeting is part of the required annual inspection around here.  Mine was set up fine when I got it. :dunno:  I do have to say that the first time I put on the brights, I was stunned at how bright it actually is, and how much of the area it lit up.  It made a huge difference when traversing unlit roads.

Well my brights seemed good as well, but the normal lights just seemed off.  Here's a pic of what it looked like before. Actually the horizontal line separating light from dark was maybe 25 feet and not the 10-15 feet on the pic, but you get the idea. It was just irritating driving at 35 mph and overdriving my low beams and seeing this horizontal line right in front of me. If that's correct and legal, then screw being legal. I changed it and now I have more than doubled, almost tripled, what is lit in front of me. Also since the lights aren't facing at such an steep angle down, there is not horizontal line. It just slowly dissapates the further it gets.

This pic is from the top. Hopefully this pic will describe what I was seeing.

Yeah...  Mine is MUCH higher than that...  (Maybe a little too high come to think of it)...

I can see friggen great....  And as for the guy in front of me...  That's why the rear view has that little switch.

I have a friend in ICU right now been there a week hit a deer at night on a V Star.

I hope he heals up and feels better.

I learned how to ride under the cover of darkness, and it really does help to be able to see the light before the car, but nowadays I'm kind of indifferent. Reflective tape on the helmet, tail (see avatar) and front rim helps!
