VN Bonnet Gap

[mischa]

Got a slight gap on the left side of the bonnet between the lights and the bonnet. It looks as if the lights are sitting to low compared to the guard. Is this common and what could be causing it? Sorry about the crappy light in the first shot.

Thanks

with my old VN i just put a couple of washers under the top mounts for the headlights to raise them up a bit. worked a treat

when you remove the bonnet the bolts at the back are adjustable to a degree, then there is those little bumpers on the side that are adjustable and the latch is adjustable.
You could try removing the bonnet and refitting it again.

I have done this when replacing bonnets and front guards.
The bolts at the back holding the bonnet on, from memory allow the most adjustment.

Its not the bonnet, the bonnet lines up perfectly with the guards on both sides, its the light sitting too low.

Thanks levy that's a great idea, any idea what caused it tho? Dodgy repairs?
