What up all?

I've decided I want to drop the bike a setting...maybe two. Does anyone else have a manual they can reference? I have the adjustable stock rears .

Mine is still 1500 miles East with the wife in Boston.

I just don't wanna screw it up.

I know this will be a shocker...but the local stealer guy I spoke with about it...has no idea how to?

I'm presenting for your consideration, that an HD employee doesn't know the product...I know...tough to accept.

I had an FXR3 for several years.  It was my understanding that it came with the lowered shocks.  Not sure if you can lower it additionally? ? ? ?

The shocks have 5 settings...I just don't know how to adjust them.

Height adjustment or preload?  Not sure if you have the same shocks as I do on my FXR2.  Are your shocks made by Fox, like mine?  Check above the bottom mount bolt for identification.

My shocks have adjustable preload settings by twisting the top collar and observing the index marks either revealed or hidden by doing so, but I see no way to adjust the height.

I have, however seen replacement shocks for our bikes on Ebay that claim to be shorter, for lowering purposes.

They're definately Fox. It appears as if adjusting the collar to the highest setting will drop the bike about an inch or so.

Paul, did you ever figure out if you're shocks are height-adjustable or not?  If they're not height adjustable, then (if you’re still interested) these are on ebay again:
