Sorted. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> Spyder I have a 2005 TDM 900 but am struggling with the vertical alignment - I cannot find the screw that JBX talks about on his site. There is an obvious tunnel for a screwdriver under the headlight unit on my bike it does not appear to have a screw at the end of it. Has yours got a philips of flat screw head for adjustment? Squinting with a mirror and torch there appears to be a flat metalic disk with a segment of about a quarter of a disk that protrudes into the tunnel and this has a cut in it but no screw head in sight. I may be being a bit dim 'the headlight is' but any enlightenment greatfully accepted 900 headlight adjustment - jbx - 09-12-2006 <!--quoteo(post=24102:date=Sat 9th Dec 2006, 12:58 PM:name=hvass)-->QUOTE(hvass @ Sat 9th Dec 2006, 12:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Spyder I have a 2005 TDM 900 but am struggling with the vertical alignment - I cannot find the screw that JBX talks about on his site.

Use a flat screwdriver to rotate it, that's all ! 900 headlight adjustment - steveglover - 09-12-2006 <!--quoteo(post=24103:date=Sat 9th Dec 2006, 12:22 PM:name=JBX)-->QUOTE(JBX @ Sat 9th Dec 2006, 12:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Your description is ok, there is no screw, only a dented kind-of-washer.
