Returning to the canted headlamp. The front glass is created as a lens to create a beam pattern and clearly that only works with the lamp correctly orientated.
You might be dazzling oncoming traffic even during the day and you might even be able to see a little better at night.
Did an oil and filter change yesterday, and thanks to your post I took a look around underneath for anything vulnerable and tidied things up. Sometimes the simplest things can cause the biggest problems.

On that particular headlamp I believe the glass is clear and smooth both inside and out. The reflector behind the glass creates the beam pattern.
I'm one of those guys who likes a clock on my bike.
Just want to share a cool clock bracket that my best friend Scott, a skilled machinist and drag racer ('40 ******) made for me. My original bracket was a POS that I made, poorly. Scott made this out of aluminum stock.
He replicated the OEM groves perfectly. Also, the photos make it look like it's very close to the tank, but it's an illusion; there's plenty of clearance. The clock is a Formotion Aviator model.
It starts in neutral. It is how I discovered it. For the first time in a very long time I stalled exiting my driveway which is soft gravel. Pulled the clutch and I couldn't restart the engine. I had to put it in neutral.
Okay it turns out there is a changeable switch, HD 71500117.
