Why do people pull over?

[jedd]

Anyone else when riding at night have people pull over as if I'm driving emergency vehicle? Is it the fog lights or what it happen every night I drive it, even with oncoming traffic. I don't like it any suggestions?:dontknow:

Huh...that is weird.

I did have a fellow in a car with NJ plates puull up alongside me on the right while we were ryding yesterday.

It was a one lane road.

(I didn't like that, either.)

I've had a few. They don't recognize what the vehicle is, based on the front lights, so they error on the side of pulling over.

One guy caught up to me and told me it was pretty intimidating to see the headlights come up on him so quick. Gave him the willies. Now he knows what it is

I think riding two up raises the light beams too high and blinds the driver in front. I see my lights illuminating signs and tree branches way ahead of me.

One of the first things I had to do was adjust the lights on my wife's Spyder. Way too high! The were even distarcting in my mirrors when I was riding ahead of her in the daytime. Had to adjust the foglights considerably, too. These projector lights are odd. If adjusted wrong they can be almost invisible from any angle at all, almost like they are burned out. From straight on, they cast a strong beam. If it is too high, it may be in the other driver's eye's. With the foglights it is an odd pattern. Maybe that has folks confused, too.

+1 to what Scotty said about taking the time to adjust your lights properly as many dealers aren't doing that in their vehicle prep. See the owners manual for instructions. You also might check your suspension settings versus your load. How to adjust your preload on the springs is in the owners manual too. I drive at night with some regularity and don't seem to have your problem. My wife says that with 6 lights in the front (I have the fog light set) the vehicle looks odd in your rearview mirror. I changed my fender tip lights to orange/amber bulbs and she says that helps some, but still looks odd. People are probably just confused and erring on the side of caution when pulling over. Hope you have some luck as this creates a hazardous situation with people pulling over. Ryde Safe and Enjoy:thumbup:

When I ride ahead of my wife and look back in the mirror, her Spyder fog lights give the appearance of "blinking" and appears almost a purple color from a distance. It does have the strange appearance of an emergancy vehicle. I figured it is because her Spyder is a custom pink or magenta color.
I asked her to drive ahead and check out my fog lights and she did not notice anything with mine. Maybe its the color? I have a silver Spyder.

:shocked: So......what this tells me is that these people that are pulling over on the side of the road are ........what? HOPING to be abducted by aliens?!!:yikes: And they say anal probes are bad. You must have been driving near Tuscaloosa, AL they've been taking it up the :cus: by Auburn for the past 6 years!!!!:2thumbs: ROFLMAO

We saw exactly this same effect. That's why I adjusted the lights. The projector lights cast a beam mostly forward. If you are off line by a few degrees, they appear to go out. After I adjusted all four lights, I don't see the blinking in my mirrors anymore, just four dots of white. In fact, a road test like that is how we tested them and fine tuned the adjustment.

Are they adjusted from the screw underneath the light?
