Hey guys!  I have a strange problem with my headlight that hopefully someone can shed some light on.  By the way, this forum is great.  I got some excellent help diagnosing a charging system problem a few months ago- which has since been fixed!

Here's the problem: Headlight is off axis.
     - BIKE: 1980 CB750 F SUPERSPORT

The lens puts out (what it is suppose to be) a horizontally-oriented beam (shoots across the road).  That horizontal line is off by about 30-40 degrees, so what I have is more of a diagonal line- which is very annoying and makes riding at night difficult.

I've taken off the headlight assembly and looked for a way to adjust it and couldn't find anything.  Everything is meant to go in one way and one way only.  I can't adjust the lens, cant adjust the mounts.

Any suggestions or insight?!?!

Thanks everyone!
