Driving Lights
Not happy with the head lights. I have Lamounters H4's but they don't seem to throw much light down the road. Is there a head light adjustment for aiming? Also has anyone tried mounting driving lights. if so which ones and are you happy with the amount of light down the road? I have a 2018 F3L.

" LaMont's H-4's " ….. if they are Halogen's they won't be any better than stock …… Get some good LED's ….. and yes there are many choices for additional lighting in the after-market …… contact Paul " PMK " in a PM …. He knows some excellent ones that are very cost effective …… I can't remember the name of the company ….. Mike

You can aim your lights the adjusters are located under the top service panels (the one that has the safety card info). I don’t know if the procedure is in the Owners Manual but check there, it was in the RT manual.
For good driving lights check out Clearwater Lights Darla https://www.clearwaterlights.com/

Clearwater Darlas are FANTASTIC (but pricey) lights. High quality, compact and very, very bright when you are high beam. 3,000 lumens bright! They are wired into both high and low beams and have a handlebar mounted brightness controller for low beam operation so you don't dazzle oncoming. They also provide bike specific CNC mounting hardware. I had then on my last bike, a Victory Cross Roads and got a lot of good comments from fellow riders. On group rides, the road captains always had me for tail gunner, as they can see my lights and know the group was intact.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

+ 1 on the Tri C LED's LED headlights, after upgrading to them and their LED fog lights on my RT, I've not felt I was outdriving my lights, like I did with the oem bulbs.
And their Long distance high power LED’s Spotlights are a bit less expensive than the Darla's and mount to the inside front of the fenders so they point where your wheels point.

FalconAF, I believe the Clearwater Darla's mount is on the Axle Spindle cover bolts circled here, Clearwater Darla mounting points.jpg
