I have a 1993 fxstc that came with a lowering kit. The bike is too low for me so I want to raise it up a bit. Will this change the belt tension? Thanks bigben
Thanks Handy. Maybe you can help me with something else. Which would you turn the adjusters on the kit CW or CCW to raise it? Thanks again for your help. BIGBEN
You want to shorten the shafts on the shocks... It's been a while, but I think you loosen the lock nuts ccw and turn the far forward nut cw... this should pull the shaft forward. Remember that each 1/4 inch on the shock shaft is about an inch movement up or down on the rear end.
