Sorry but the fatbills is a broken link . Any alternatives?
Try to do a search for "How to: adjust Softail rear shock preload" on google. This guy tries to reiterate what was on Fatbill's website. RIP Fatbill... I tried to post the link here, but because it's on a competing site it won't let me.
As "Cocky" eluded too; the thread is 10 years old so any links are probably a path to nowhere.
If you're looking for the adjustment procedure it's attached.
Thanks for the PDF. It helped me too. For some reason my genuine Harley Service Manual doesn't have this information. I have the one for the 2010 Softail. Not sure why. It just describes what to do, but doesn't give any tables that some have referred to.
