[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1291188, member: 238"] I could have done a better job of explaining... First, here's the [URL="https://shop.penskeshocks.com/PENSKE-RACING-SHOCKS-8983-REMOTE-PIGGY-BACK-DOUBLE-ADJUSTABLE/"]Penske Link[/URL] with details. Yes, shock length is completely adjustable from OEM length +/- 12mm depending on which option chosen. Forgot about it, but you also have the option of OEM +/- 6mm. Adding the full ~32mm ride height would impact geometry, I can't see where that much would ever be used. Also, use of the center stand would be iffy as the back tire would be close (if not touching) the ground. Preload adjustment is via threaded collar. It's not too bad to reach on the FJR but honestly, unless you're packing a lot of extra weight, preload is probably a set it and forget it adjustment. Hope this helps. --G [/QUOTE]
