Hello forum Hello

I have my CB 1100 in the garage and looks perfect to my eyes.
I have 2 other bikes right now and have learned about them and their needs , this one however is very new to me. so you will see me posting a lot of questions to the forum.
I needed to ride the CB at night , I was riding in the city and streets and freeway were very well illuminated by lights.
I however realized the front head light ,either at high or low beam focuses at something like 10 feet in front of me.
I don't know if it is because of windshield bracket installed that limits the movement of light or it is the factory design. I think I have dart windshield and bracket. Thanks

Thank you

Hi Ennsync!

Do you have a closeup of the mounting?
I adjusted my headlight some months ago and had no problem to increase height.

Greetings to my beloved SoCal,
Markus

i actually had the exact same issue early on, and I noticed it after installing my own Dart screen. if you just loosen those two bolts on the side, tilt the lamp up a bit, and retighten them it will be much better. after I adjusted the angle my low beam is catching objects way out in front of me.

I'm still going to swap to an LED lamp at some point though.

Thank you both for the response, I will try to do so.
