    Getting ready to leave on a 18 day trip tomorrow and was trying to beef up the rear suspension for the extra weight. I had no idea I had so many right turns available. How many "clicks" are there supposed to be anyhow?

    I'm a heavy rider, and ride mixed on and off road.

    I don't know how many there are, but there are a bunch. If you can get down and look at the adjuster from the bottom, you can see graduated marks on the adjustment shaft.

    IIRC 40 end to end. I haven't had stock shocks for a while, so I could be off.
