Off to France - do I need to adjust my headlights?

Post by RubyRT »

Taking my 2016 R1200RT to France in a few days - will I need to adjust my headlights or buy deflectors?

Thanks

I don't think so

UK headlights used to kick up to the left but I don't believe the RT does

Easy way to check is to park it in front or a wall about a metre away and see if it kicks up to the left

No - the headlight dips down and not to the side like older ones used too
