You can certainly adjust 1990-2004 rear shocks don't know about 2005 onwards

hi buddy, the adjustment on the shock i thought was to raise or lower the bike. i didnt know it makes it harder.

Also compresses the shock as you tighten it up, theoritically hardening it...tough decision to say whether it raises it or not, I have a hunch you'd have to change the wishbone pivot thing at the bottom of the shock/swingarm to actually substantially lower it. Give it ago its only a 20min job, 30 tops (Y)

New Boy is getting lost again ?? you can alter the spring preload at the bottom of the shock which will make it harder it will not alter the height much that is done by the dog bones and the thicker oil in the front forks will stiffen them up a little and you can put a spacer on top of the spring to stiffen the preload at the front , or am I just lost all together ??? after that it is after market race shocks and loads of money
