You do make a good point. I may have to reconsider Visibility technique.

The bike is only 10days old. They seem find with me on it , but with a passenger even the low beams get unwanted attention. I haven't adjusted them yet but will likley in the near future.Bringing this back around, are the lights adjusted with the rider in the seat?
OK, yes, the stock suspension is woefully under sprung. What is your and you passengers approx weight in street clothing? Having properly set/correct suspension settings/springs will help, or see if they can adjust it with both of you on the bike.The bike is only 10days old.

Yes. She is a bit soft, I'm 200lb ready to ride. Passenger was 150lb. Luggage mounted but empty. My other son rode I front of me briefly and then fell in behind. When we got home he said the lights where unbearable. ( low beam with aux lights.)OK, yes, the stock suspension is woefully under sprung.

So ~350 lbs is way out of the ~155-170 stock ready to ride set/spec from the factory. Max the preload both front and rear, and measure your unladen, static and ladened sag and post again. I suspect you'll find it to be massively out of needed range.es. She is a bit soft, I'm 200lb ready to ride. Passenger was 150lb

You are correct. My 09 Concours 1400 had a adjustment knob for each headlight. They were to the right and left of the dash pod. Very easy to get to and adjust.Any very short wheelbase vehicle will suffer from light alignment with even a small change of load. May be nothing to do with suspension settings.
All my 4 wheel vehicles have remote control for headlight vertical alignment, about time bikes had the same. It would have been easy to do on models like the Norge where the individual reflectors are moved by screws.
It is impossible to alter the lighting for when loading changes currently, half the front end has to be dismantled to get at the adjusters, certainly nothing could be done at the roadside.
Ok I have to admit I'm a bit unschooled in the Unladen, Static and Laden Sag. So GT-Rx ... HELP. I did look up the settings in the service manual and set them to the medium loaded setting. How ever I'm a bit confused by the Fork Compression and Rebound settings. The manual says 1 turn out from tightened.... for all preload settings?
