1980's Whitepower shock adjusters?
« on: November 03, 2014, 04:01:38 pm »
Just wondering if anyone has experience with mid 80's Whitepower shocks?  The shock I have here seems to work the opposite to the more common Jap & Ohlins shocks; turning the damping adjusters clockwise makes for less damping, anti-clockwise gives more, is this correct?

clockwise  puts more pressure on the rebound plate
