Adjusting the lowering kit on 2008 Softail Custom

    Hi All,

    I had the adjustable lowering kit installed onto the standard rear shocks of my softail the other week and after playing around with the preload for the last couple of rides I find it's still a tad too high for my liking.

    I didn't install the kit myself and the instructions were never passed back to me ( I forgot to ask) so I'm not 100% certain on the correct procedure for dropping the suspension down a little further, I know it shouldn't be too hard to work it out myself but just to be safe can any one give me a run down of what is the correct way to lower the rear suspension a little further?

    Hi Dave,

    Much appreciated, I'll have a crack at it Sunday morning and see how I go.

    Cheers

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks again for your help, I managed to lower the rear a bit more without any drama and the weather was turning bad just as I finshed adjusting the preload so I'll see how the weather is tomorrow and take it for a run around the block.

    Bloody Weather, cold, wet and miserable and I would hazard to guess there is snow on the mountains...Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
