WOuld like some pics of 96 royal star. Pics to compare

[muaymendez1]

I would like anyone with a 96 rs to send me a pic of the monoshock and mounting brackets. i think my bike may have been lowered because I scrape at minimal lean angles.

have you tried to adjust it with the spanner wrench in your tool pouch? if you look at the middle of the shock you'll see a stepped piece of metal around the middle and there is a elongaged pin in one of the stepped areas. i think if it's in the bottom step it's on the softest setting jack the bike up some but leave the back wheel on the ground. you hook the tip of the spanner wrench into the holes at the bottom of the stepped ring and turn it till it moves into the next slot. you may have to adjust it a coupje of spots and then try it out to see if if it better.when the ring is lifting the bottom of the spring up, it's getting to be a harder or stiffer ride.

As i already said in the other Thread, Pegscraper flipped the trinangular Parts over and raised the Binke about an Inch, if i recall correctly ...

Great thanks for the help guys I think I found out my problem.

ALthough I have not been bottoming out with my weight I had the shock at the softest lowest setting. THIS SHOCK IS BACKWARDS. WHoda thunk it?

I also read up on pegscrapers post about doing a suspension triangle flip that will also raise the rear. Will update as soon as I kick this nasty cold my kids so generously left behind in my body.
