What size spanner wrench does it take to adjust the rear shocks on a 2010 wide glide. My brother bought the bike used and it didn't come with any info or manual.

 

theres an adjustable spanner wrench thats like a pair of plyers with a couple of nibs on each side of the jaws.... i got mine at the dealership

 

Not trying to hi-jack this thread but can I adjust my ride height with the rear shocks or is this basically for ride comfort?

 

Idk but good question. I presume with the increased settings the less amount of sag you would get. Lowest setting, softer, I think allows the bike to sag more. Hope someone that has the bike can answer

 

adjusting the shock only changes the tension for the ride, it does nothing to lower or raise the height of the back end

 

but would more tension keep the bike from squatting when sitting on it versus a softer setting allowing the shock to compress when you sit on it?

 

He ended up buying a wrench at the dealer a few min ago so we will soon find out

 

when one person sits on the bike, the back might drop 1/8 inch max.... unless you have real weak springs but i doubt that. the shocks take the bite out of hitting bumps
