Ultra Limited Headlight distance
I have had my bike in the shop now twice to adjust the headlamp, problem is on high beam I am only getting about 45 feet of light. Dealer said they have adjusted the lamp all the way up.
I remember when i go the bike I had way more light at night than I do now. On a dark road low beam is unusable at more than 40mph. High beam isn't much better. Thinking I already have a bad lamp.

There is an adjuster behind the trim ring at the 12-o'clock position. You'll need an allen wrench - your supplied HD tool kit may have the correct size, not sure. Adjust it yourself. I know I had the same issue, it was way too low. I adjusted it about 2 turns to get it right. I now need to adjust the spot lights but need a slotted socket wrench to do that....

Headlight adjust
My headlight was also too low when I picked it up. When I adjusted it to the limit using the top screw it was much better but still not high enough to be properly aligned according to the manual or my liking. I had to adjust the two side screws and back them off to really get it right. You have to remove the trim ring to do that since one of the side adjusting screws doesn't line up with the notch in the ring. It's much easier to adjust with the trim ring off anyway.
Makes a huge difference in the nighttime visibility.
