Went for my first night ride...the low beam looks out MAYBE 20 feet. How do I adjust this up a bit?

Avc... have you gone through the owner's manual? It has some info in there about adjustment. I have not tried it...but after taking the front clip off and looking at the housings, it didn't seem hard to do, and I think you can do it without the front clip being off. I am not sure if you can just adjust the low beams, I think it is the entire housing. I might be mistaken though.

Good luck!

Actually...the dealer lost my owners manual so I am waiting on one to arrive from Buell.

Where is the adjusting screw? Underneath?

You know what. I am an idiot... I have 0 experience with a CR... apologies. I didn't even see CR in your request.

You can download the manuals online or reference them on www.buell.com click on owners and register. You will then have all the online owner's manuals.

Avc8130- My dealer also lost my manual. At the top of the page here though in the 1125 forum there are links to the CR and the R. I am not being a jerk, just trying to help

Piece of cake. Mine was like that too.

There's a little hex head under the dead center of the light assembly from the front. Like a 3/8ths or so. Easy with a box end wrench. A few turns and you're right there.

Crack the throttle . . . that'll raise them.

Excellent. I completely forgot about the manuals on the site and Buell.com. Thanks for the leads!
