Hi guys, I have a 2021 GSA. My GTL had an adjustment for the continent to refocus the headlight for driving on the right. Anybody know what the story is with the 21 GSA?
Thanks as alway,

Dragging up and hijacking an old thread is this true of all 1200/1250 GS’s?
I’m after confirmation of what MY the headlamps are the same between UK and EU. Does anyone know with certainty?
I’m exporting the bike and can’t rely on “it will be OK” and “you’ll never be stopped”. I have to put the bike through a certificate of conformity so beam pattern will be checked.
I can get a 1200 (2014MY) on headlamp here in Europe for not too much and that age of bike will keep the import duty down too!
Cheers

No you won't. You obtain the European CofC from BMW UK and you will register it with that supplied paper. There will be no physical check of the bike that way. If you go to another EU country and ask for the CofC in that country then be prepared to jump through all sorts of hoops and shell out loads of money.
I have done it a few times now.
To expand on Snatas interpretation:
You need do nothing to ride in Europe as all modern bikes have flat dipped beam lights.
The fact that any lights will shine upwards if you are loaded is nothing to do with Europe but riding everywhere.
To expand on BobT’s interpretation, the adaptive headlight on the 1250 sorts out the levelling too, pack what you want
Which year are the flat dipped introduced?To expand on BobT’s interpretation, the adaptive headlight on the 1250 sorts out the levelling too, pack what you want
