Where do you get a spanner wrench, at Harley ?? I looked online & cant find anything. I'm 140 & have no idea what my shocks are set at, but I do know the back end is stiff & I need to loosen it up. Let me know if you would.

Thanx
Chap

I picked up one by Custom Chrome from local indy. for about $4.00. Works just fine.
You shouldn't need your setting very high, maybe one. My shocks don't have numbers on them so I just adjusted them and took a test drive. When the wife comes with me I move it two notches.

A dealer will have them, or any online tool vendor. I've found it easier though to just use a strap wrench as it doesn't scratch.
