Vrod rear shock preload adjustment 

Mine has the holes in it, but I figured it would be better to just purchase the $6 tools from Harbor Freight and use them for other things like oil changes, etc. This worked like a champ! The prior owner of my V Rod was super short so he had it at the lowest possible setting. After adjusting mine up a few notches, it rides like a dream. Thank you for this video!

You just saved me $800, THANK YOU, nobody knew how to do this! 2003 100TH Anniversary SuperGlide

Though I don't have these shocks on mine, I still found this video helpful as it pointed me to a good tool to adjust my dyna's shocks. Thank you! (actually got a pair of these tools, one large, one small at HF for $4.95) And by using this tool I avoided scratching up the chrome on my shocks.

I'm saying thank you cuz you're the only one that knew

Thanks from the UK, This is the only info I've found on these shocks and exactly what I needed to know.

Thank you so much. I just bought a V-Rod a few days ago and it has the same suspension. I have tried everywhere as well to get an answer. You just saved me a few hundred bucks because I was going to replace the suspension altogether.

Man ,THANK YOU!!! Great job with this video. Word for word perfect details. Wish everyone that did videos were this well done.

Thanks man, been trying to figure these out and like u said the Harley dealers around here didn’t know! Super helpful!

I have a 2000 dyna wide glide with exact same shocks. Your the only one that gave me info I needed. Thanks

Got my new Muscle last night, and first ride today I thought hell this is rock hard. Saves me a trip to the dealer I hope.... thanks 👍🏻

Thank you fellow Vrod rider!

This video was helpful. Buddy's adjusting his Koni coilovers on his Dyna and I was looking for anything that would point us in the right direction to adjust them easily. Thank you!

Thank you, and this was the first video I watched, and it explained all I needed to know. Off to Harbor Freight.

Thank You Kevin! I’ve had my 2016 VRSCDX (Night Rod Special) since Oct 2017 (I bought it brand spanking new with no miles). I ride “one up” so haven’t had a problem. I expect to take my granddaughter though, so I may need to adjust load. Thanks Again!

I just bought a Harley Davidson Street Bob. Thank you for posting this video. The dealer offered to adjust my shocks but figured its something I should learn how to do. Probably a different shock, but the method would presumably be the same. I'm 240, and my bike is at the stock setting. The manual says the shocks need to be set to #4. So off I go.

Nice information! It will definitely help to the riders out there. Funny thing is nobody from the harley dealer had an answer. I wonder what kinda wrench they use for vrod. I know for my dyna uses the spanner wrench.

Nice one :-) Thanks to you, it took me one single google search to learn how to adjust my rear shocks :-)

Sir thank you for the Video you made me save almost 800 bucks HD told me i need new shocks..Now my back ride like a champ..

Great job, KG - sorry you had to jump through so many hoops to figure it out. I just picked up a 2003 VRSCA - appreciate you, brother!

Thank you man. I have a sportster 883xl 2004 with this rear shocks. Now I know how to adjust them.

Jesus Christ, thank you. Right to the point and no big words.

BIG thank you ! Finally , everyone else told me get new shocks with the hight you desire ! And im pointing at my stock ones “ it DOES ADJUST “ just how ! Until i saw your video lol i bet you went through the same shit

Thanks for posting. I just bought a 2011 V-Rod Nightrod. I'm a bigger guy and that was a concern of mine. I was thinking of getting an air ride suspension in the future though.

Thanks brO. Didnt even know i could raise my shocks. Thought i had to buy new once. Saved me money. 👍

My progressive shocks are supposed to turn by hand they will if you are a lifter I can barely do it without using a tool so I found your video helpful

Kevin, thanks! I've been researching about the same thing. -2003 VROD Anniversary Edition.

Dang mine has the holes but I'm still gonna try it your way! I don't have the proper tool so I was going to try a screwdriver or something... I heard that can chew up the holes though so really good solution you came up with!

98 FXDS. Could not find any info on shocks. This video fixed my problem in less than 10 minutes1 Thank you

Great video. Short and to the point.

Thank you for posting. Going through this right now

Good job man. I have different shocks on my vrod but appreciated the video.

Thanks! Like you said, there’s not info about it. 👊🏼

Just picked up a 2005 v rod with 9800 miles on it. Don’t know a hole he’ll of a lot about v rods, but the price was right. Thanks for the video , the shocks in the back seem very spongy. Should I replace or do you think just adjustment

Thanks 🙏 I was thinking about it 😊

Nice ride have the exact same one.

thanks for the info bud my vrod kept scraping when turning deep and bottoming out coming out my driveway hopefully this works

Tq bro..

I agree with press... dealers know how but they want it checked in for service to make that dollar

I've been doing this but the spring and the top spin and it doesn't go to the next Grove to stiffen the ride

Thanks😅

great job....!

Dziękuję

u know it and own it thanks for saving be $$$

Thank you sir! Rather... shocking... that nobody knew how to handle those.

cool vid

Mine look very similar but they say progressives suspension

Oh yeah … lol … like the video

The mechanics know but they wanted you to pay them the $100 for 1 hour minimum labor.

OK so this is not for the original

Well thanks for the tip tho I found my shocks are custom XD

Harley acts like they know when they sell u a bike but otherwise which way did it go lol

Your shocks are upside down
