I just got the new twin seat and put it on my S1W and threw the ol lady on the back and took off. Its obvious that I need to adjust the rear shock. The bike feels like its gonna flip when I give it gas.

I have the service manual but it only shows how to adjust the "pre-recall" shock.

How do you adjust the new style rear shock?

I apologize if this has been described already. I did a search and couldnt find anything real descriptive. If there is a thread just point me to it. Thank you ahead of time.

This is 50% of the help.........

Now do I just turn that screw? The old shock required turning 2 screws and then another bigger nut. Is there a lock nut or something I should be worrying about?
