how do i adjust the rear shocks?

[Buck]

I have been searching but so far have not found out how to adjust my rear air shocks so i can hold more. I am afraid to take anyone on a ride because last time i tried....got about 30 yards from the house, and since my back break lights are under the fender, we hit a very....very small bump, and a nasty sound came off...got off the bike and my brake lights were bent all the way under.

how do i adjust them to make sure they are at the max if needed?

most likely by putting in progressive springs ...not much adjusting ...and your 83 is the bast 1100 setup on springs ...the air must be shot on it ...you did try to air it uo yes

Air pressure. Manual or on board compressor. Check to see if shocks hold air, check hoses for leaks. Use soapy water in spray bottle to check for leaks. Good luck.

Behind the right side cover, just rear of the master cylinder bolts, is the valve for the rear shocks. Anywhere from 0 to 57 PSI is good.
