I have an e bay set of short shocks marketed as for Honda Rebel. They are as hard as a rock even on preload setting one. I reckon the spring is way too hard to maybe compensate for a poor damping unit?
has anyone tried shortening the spring?? I assume they will come apart

I think that shortening the spring will make the spring stiffer.
