I actually had the pre-load adjusted just after I had them put on as the damned thing was bottoming out BAD. It had no rebound at ALL.

EDIT: Just measured the shocks. If I am measuring the correct part (from the very end of the bolt to the beginning of the shock body), it looks to be around 3.75". Does this sound right?

Regardless, my wrencher is going to fabricate a pair of longer bolts for me. The ride's gonna suck, but it kind of already does.

I admit- I'm kind of embarrassed to post pix- everybody's bike here is so dialed in and mine looks... unfinished.

Ah well... I'll snap a couple tomorrow. I promise.
