• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Need help/advice on Adjusting the headlight beam axis - where's the adjust screw?

I have 2021RT Sea to Sky. I bought the ELIKA shocks at La Monster Garage and I really like them, but the low beams are pointing up quite a bit and oncoming traffic is complaining. I just can't find the adjustment screw that's listed in the manual. Can you tell me where it is and in detail? I'd be happy if you could provide a photo. Thank you.

There is a hole after you remove the mirror skin. It takes a long philips screw driver to reach the screw. After getting my new to me 2021 RT LTD, I wanted to find out for my self, Found it.
 
Instructions with pictures are on page 113-115 of the English 2021 Operator's manual (Could be different from the Japanese language manual), here's the page 114 snip

2021 Headlight Operators manual page 114.jpg

If you like, I can send you an extracted pdf of just those pages.

ALSO, I just found this thread on SL titled "2020 RT Headlight adjustment" that talks about the disparity between the Operator's manual and the real world. Eriokko, find it here, maybe it helps more:

I understand that many people are having trouble finding it.

I pulled myself together and searched again, but I still couldn't find it. Then, just like the miracle of light that occurs twice a year at the Abu Simbel Temple or the head ornament of the Staff of Ra in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the sunlight at an elevation of 60 degrees from behind me shone in the darkness, and the adjustment screw appeared in the darkness. I have attached a photo of that moment and a photo showing the direction of the screwdriver. The adjustment screw is symmetrical on both sides.

I hope that there will be no more lost lambs now.
