Okay, here it is. The shock adjuster is a ring that supports the spring with 2 sets of notches. Each side of the ring has 5 notches for 5 positions. If you turn the adjuster past the stifftest #5 (biggest notch), it drops down to the #1 position (littlest notch), and then it continues from #1 to #5 again.

You can't see it here, but there are 2 stops under this ring. One on each side. The stop is the oblong thing with 2 weld marks. That way the ring is supported equally on each side at the same notch level. However there is only one hole in the adjuster (and the chrome cover) for turning. Mine is on #4.

Funny too, how the camera flash really brings out the spots of rust and dirt. Guess that I'd better get to waxing Roll Eyes
