The shock does not have to be totally removed for ride height adjustment.

I think I removed the lower shock bolt, jacked up the bike to get the shock out of the way of the swing arm and then spun the adjuster to raise ride height.

The early RT A-arms are a different casting. They do not have the boss that you need to drill into to mount the steering damper.

I am hoping to modify the arm to attempt to counter the raising of the front end.

It caused absolutely no problems at Silverstone that day and everybody had been threatened with expulsion if they transgressed! A number of the IL4 guys were 'spoken' to but as far as I know we did not get so much as a raised eyebrow!

Although I do suspect that db readings will differ markedly from place to place and I suspect that it also depends on how well you know the test equipment operator.

Somebody pointed out to me that nobody had answered that part of your question.

My understanding is that the adjuster part will just screw right out. That is the reason for the grooves in the thread - they are there to act as a warning!

Cheers for that! Good job I didn't even screw it out to the groves!
