ADJUSTING RIDE HEIGHT.
NOTE: Extending shock assembly lowers
frame/fender height. Shortening shock
assembly will raise frame/fender height.
NOTE: Always check clearances during & after
adjusting ride height.
Step 1: Loosen ride height adjusting locknut.
(see fig. 3)
Step 2: Rotate end to desired height. Always
leave at least 1 inch of threads engaged
in the female threaded shaft. (see fig. 4)
Step 3: Lock down ride height adjusting locknut
using blue (med strength) threadlocker.
(see fig. 5)
Step 4: After adjusting ride height on both
shocks, verify that they are the same
length by measuring from their mounting
points. (see fig. 6)
ULTIMA SOFTAIL STYLE ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS
Always wear protective eyewear when adjusting shock ride height or spring preload.
NOTE: Adjusting spring preload will not only stiffen or loosen absorption properties but will also change handling
behavior of the motorcycle.
NOTE: Adjusting ride height will change handling behavior of motorcycle.
NOTE: After ride height & preload have been set verify shocks are the same length by measuring from center to center
of mounting points.
NOTE: The procedures outlined in these instructions can be done with shocks installed on or off the bike.
ADJUSTING SPRING
PRELOAD (STIFFNESS).
NOTE: Shocks typically come set at their loosest
(softest) setting.
Adjustment range is approximately 4 full
rotations.
Step 1: Loosen preload adjustment locknut.
(see fig. 1)
Step 2: Using supplied special tool with a 3/8
ratchet, turn adjusting plate clockwise to
stiffen preload & counter-clockwise to
loosen preload. (see fig. 2)
Step 3: Once preload has been set, lock down
preload adjusting nut using blue
(med strength) thread locker.
