Headlight deflectorsThis was the right answer

A left-dipping beam can dazzle oncoming traffic when riding on the right. On a motorcycle whose handbook specifies external deflectors, fit the correct ones as directed. Some machines instead have a built-in beam adjustment or another approved arrangement; check the handbook before travelling.
