Default RE: adjust shocks?

Look at the bottom of the shock and you will see a line of holes going around it edge. This is where you insert a spandrel wrench to turn the shock aduster. or take the weight off the back wheel and you may be able to turn it by hand. It has 5 adjustment settings from softer to firmer. I forget which way (clockwise or counter clockwise) the settings go.

My HD billets do not have anywhere to put a spanner, its just get the weight off the rear tire and grab the top and twist.....
