How to adjust Daymakers (vertical adjust) on a 2013 RGC?
« on: September 06, 2013, 08:49:42 PM »

I'm trying to adjust my headlights up a little bit to get the low beams a little farther out from the bike.  I see the two adjusters on the inside fairing and I assume one is for vert and the other for horizontal but I don't know which is which? Anyone??
Thanks!

No. Turn both clockwise (equally) for up and ccw for down  I'm not at home but someone can give you the rest.

Checked service manual and confirmed above post.   

Also:   To move the beam to the right,  turn left adjuster CW and right adjuster CCW.  To move beam right,  do the opposite.

Thanks Greg, Are you saying the same two adjusters are for left/right as well as up/down?  I only saw the two adjusters.  I just finished putting the heated gear connections on my RGC and my wifes '14 CVO Deluxe, now I'm doing the garage door opener for my bike, then I'll adjust my day makers up a little bit.

So same adjusters?

Good info EKim60,  My main question was the actual adjusters rather than the procedure, but again, that is good info for all bike models.  Thanks again Greg!  So I got my heated gear connections installed on our bikes, the HD garage door opener installed on mine, our old bike is now on Craigslist for sale, and some other things around the house.  Maybe I'll adjust the headlight tomorrow...  It's "happy hour" now and the race is on!!  LOL
