Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I purchased the emgo aftermarket shocks (I know, they're not as good as progressives....). They have the same exact mechanism as the stock shocks, but no hole above in which to stick a tool. They did come with a wrench of some sort to adjust the shock.
Problem - I cant get the collar to turn for the life of me. The tool fits right on the collar, but nothing will turn to adjust the height. They are currently at the lowest setting, and I'm 6'3" and pushing 300lbs....
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Wow, feel the love.
Anyways for those of you newbies like me, the rear shocks must be adjusted while on the bike. Any amount of force, even with the use of vise grips to hold the shock, will not allow you to adjust the rear shocks when off the bike. The end which has the clevis must be held in place (either with a vise or by the bike frame) in order to make any adjustments. The collar will then turn very easily with the use of a spanner tool.
The emgo shocks at $80 from CRC2 are a HUGE improvement over the old and worn stock shocks!!

Thanks, it's my labor of love. However, Cherisse (my daughter) picked the color and graphics, the Max Meyer PPG dealer jazzed-up the paint brew with some Prismatine flakes in the clear coat when they heard what I was doing to an "old bike" (the flakes freak-out into different colors in the sunlight), a buddy did the prep, primer, base and clear coats and a Tattoo Artist did the Airbrush work .... total cost about US$180.00.
