Spanner wrenches in specific sizes or adjustble versions are also avalilable from tool suppliers like Wholesale Tool, MSC, Enco, Airgas/Rutland and others. They can be handy to have in your toolbox and are not expensive.

RE: 2006 DYNA SHOCK ADJUSTMENT
I too have been wondering about the numbers on the rear shocks and how to adjust them. I weight about 225 and have mine on 3, which I think is the factory setting. So from what you guys are saying 5 is the "hard" setting with 1 being "soft". I have looked through both the owners manual and the shop manual and found nothing on this subject. You would think that they would say something about this in these books. Another reason the internet is good place and forums like this exist.

RE: 2006 DYNA SHOCK ADJUSTMENT
thx for the feedback guys i adjusted them with a strap wrench a had worked good i raised thew bike on my lift and i could turn them 2 clicks by hand up then i used the strap wrench i went to 4 was set on 1 . Big difference no bottoming out on potholes anymore and the ridse wasent to stiff either big improvement yayay . i had a passenger on to same setting rode good. I think i'll put in 5 grade higher oil in the front when i change the oil this shoud stiffen then up a little not to much thou they bottom out to on big potholes.
