Adjusting Dyna Stock Suspension

Hey there, Just bought a 2011 wide glide and don’t know how to adjust the shocks that come stock on the bike. I am on the heavier side (290) I know the shock is adjusted with a spanner wrench and I bought one of those today. I couldn’t find any good videos online explaining and showing how to do it. Thank you

I believe that you can find it in you owner's manual, too.

Found a quick vid that shows ya

I don’t believe it is for your specific bike, but it should be virtually identical. https://www.fixmyhog.com/video/rear-...rvice-001233/#

When you get the chance,get a pair of Ohlins tailored to your weight. You'll never want to get off the bike!

Set it at 5 for your weight. If too stiff back to 4
Replace fork springs. They are mush. Put in Progressive springs.
You will have a much better ide

This is a great recommendation, especially since progressive springs for this bike only run around $100. This is one of my next planned mods.

I use a rubber strap type "wrench". just turn it and make sure they are on the same setting, you can see the adjusters from underneath, the setting is a trial and error type thing
