life is far less messy, even less stressy once you have fired up and shifted with the left boot!

Many thanks for this thread......it would be nice if there was a simple knob to turn from lhd to rhd just to make things simpler 😊Thank you again for the reply.

Andy,
According to AA driving in Europe compulsory equipment, headlight deflectors, note 11 this adjustment not required for two wheel vehicles, as the beam pattern is different


make of that what you will.


PS I have never had a problem on recent trip. loaded with camping gear etc.
