head light adjuster mod. for R 1100GS

(RIP) ugg · Dec 9, 2007

The standard gs11 headlight adjuster isnt very practical as you have to use a 6mm wrench to alter it :blast

This is a little modification i made for mine , n it works a treat.

a pick of the adjuster mod

drill out midle hole on knurled spacer

tap out hole to 5mm to fit adjuster

drill out n tap side of wheel n fit a grub screw

finnished peice.

to adjust it ,its the same as ye standard oe adjuster ,but it has the advantage of a great fuggin wheel to grab even wi ye gloves on.

Good luck with it if your selling them but if you advertise on here you need to put a price on it.

Wunderlich do one buts it's probably considerably more expensive than yours.

manual operation wa 13 yrs ago.

you'd think the next development would be a geared servo motor

......Talk about over engineering for a simple task...All your doing is adjusting it not launching a Scud missile.. :augie

not realy sellin em . i mite of put post on wrong thread, i was havin trouble with my head light beam n it was a git to alter so i came up wi the idea, as lads did 13yrs ago , as ive only had a gs less than 6months i was usin my old streetfighter thinking . if it dunt work reet modify it!!
if any one has the same gear they can make em too . if i sell em thats if i have enough time to make em up , 1st one was a day or so setin up lathe , especialy the knurlin process am no expert , just self tought so stuff takes time.
i agree the wunderligh is well over engineerd for what job it does.
thanks for the advice tho

cheers ugg.

A nice tidy bit of engineering, a simple solution to a problem.

You obviously went to night classes in self taught!
