Shock Tension

Question:

How do I adjust the height of the rear shock absorbers? {Eric, Michigan, USA 2003 Honda VTX1800C}

Answer:

You can not adjust the height of the rear shock absorbers, but you can adjust the shock tension. The tension is adjusted using the spanner tool which was supplied in the original VTX1800C tool kit.

There is a sticker located on the shock. Put the spanner tool in the hole & follow directions on sticker.
