| Registered Forum User WSB Hero Bikes: 1993 - 944SS & Aprilia Falco  Posts: 7,796 Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: north east Hmmmm - 1:10am and just got finished. Fitting the Reflector and refitting the home grown rear pegs - 5mins. Headlight alignment - 2 hours!  Something has always been amiss with the fairing on my bike - it takes forever to line the soddin thing up and even then I always have to haul in a most non-sensitive fashion to fit the mirrors, no matter how loose I leave all all the other fittings. I'm starting to think the front fairing mount might be twisted in some way. But - I digress - that wasnt tonight's problem.... The aftermarket hi-rise screen I had fitted previously (3 years ago!) was actually fouling and pushing on the top edge of the headlight surround. I've tried to help it recover its shape by pushing some hard rubber under the plastic frame to help stiffen it but, it looks like I've only just got the alignment correct vertically. Here's a final handy tip I've just created - horizontal beam adjustment - hard to do on a fully faired SS, usually a fairing off job but, I've fitted two nuts tight against each other on the ends of the adjustment bolt. Its now possible to adjust the bolts by reaching up inside the fairing with a 10mm spanner. Shame mine all had to come off to discover this  More - Later.... Frumpy Frank | |
