yes, just remove the speakers to access the adjusters at rear of the sockets.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

IF you have NEVER removed the little bolts that hold the speakers in-yer in fer a treat!!  tickedoff They thread into brass inserts that are pushed into the plastic of the fairing. AND I'm relatively certain they WERE NOT treated with anti seize before installation.  crazy2 The bolts will turn the inserts instead of backing out like they should.  Lips Sealed IF you have zero trouble getting them out-you are in a minority.  Grin Prior to reinstalling some anti seize is called for.  cooldude RIDE SAFE.

You can adjust the lites thru the access panels on the back side of the fairing, one on each side.  Small, agile hands are an asset to say the least.  There is an adjusting knob behind each side.  Access for bulb replacements are there too.  ???  Hoser

There's more to adjusting the headlights on the Interstate.

Reason being once you're on the bike the beams will rise.

Shock absorber setting affects the setting.

With and without passenger will also affect the setting.

Just saying, if you're looking for perfection, you need

to be aware of other factors that will make a difference.
