Lights!?!
 
My main beam is actually hitting the ground slightly before dipped!!!!!!!!!!

Is there absolutely NO adjustment on the individual casings?

Welcome to the world of crap 748 9** headlights Paul might as well hang a candle on the front of mine it'd do a better job they are only good for one thing being seen :o

haven't got my haynes comic to hand so i couldn't tell you !:P

Paul the only root i have taken is changing bulbs to blue zenon which are 30% brighter, but as you now i cant see in the dark so i cant tell you if it is any good but one friend says it is, so for a measily £12 it might be worth a try.

I\'m going back to Ducati over this.
 
No way is that a roadworthy setup

Like I said, main beam only illuminates the same bit of road already covered by dipped. I think that the construction and use requirements state that if main is set horizontal then dipped must fall a set distance in front of the vehicle.

I'll let you know what Ducati say!

Paul, they are only like that on the Yellow ones, as they don't go fast enough to need a high beam. If you really need one, you will have to order a replacement from Ducati UK. Part number veryfastred998mainbeamunit:lol:

As if my headlight wasn't bad enough before with the Yellow body kit on, after fitting the original red bodywork it was only fit for a reverse light.
Actually my red bike is far superior/faster at night but then TL1000S headlights are really good (well when the front wheels on the ground that is)

you sure you're not riding it upside down ????

You need the Aussie light unit. I got one for my 748 from ProTwins spring last year. Paired dip and main beams. Like taking a floodlight with you - not too much focus, just light everywhere:cool:

BJ999, Excuse my ignorance, what is the Aussie light unit and how much does it cost?
