I recently finished HID install and need to adjust the low beam. Any suggestions on best method?

Seriously I am not trying to sound like an ass hole,
try using a screw driver on the adjustment screws (look around the edges of the headlights) I believe the center lower one is for height of both high & low beams.

Motorcycle on level surface.
Rider’s weight on motorcycle
(approx. 85 kg/176 lbs).
Move swivel lever to horizontal position (basic
setting).
Turn the adjusting screws to correct the head-
light beam throw.
Lateral adjustment:
........................ Adjusting screw on left of headlight
Vertical adjustment:
......................Adjusting screw on right of headlight
Turn screw anti-clockwise:............... longer throw
Turn screw clockwise: ..................... shorter throw

Setting for headlight beam angle adjuster
.................................................. .. -15 cm (- 5.9 in)
.......................... . over a distance of 10 m (32.8 ft)
