    Hi

    Just wondering whether anyone knows if it is possibe to adjust the rear shockers on an Iron 883 to make the bike sit lower?

    I have noticed that the factory setting is quite high and there are a few different settings on the rear shock.

    Has anyone out there had a stab at changing the setting or does it ned to be done by a HD tech?

    Hi HogBagger

     

    Thanks for the info mate, i called into my local HD dealer today and now own an adjustmnt spanner wrench.

    Looking forward to giving the adjustment a go tonight. Might just move it one step to begin with and see how it goes from there.

    Appreciate your help.

    Steamers spot on with his advice.also change the fork oil to something around 15 to 25 weight.

    Great stuff

     I have moved the position with the wrench and you are right, it is a softer feel and seems to sit slightly lower when i jump on?? i will check out the ride tomorrow night and see how it feels. Next step would be to look at the IKON option.

     

    Thanks
