Since the rear shocks will go on as soon as I have the swingarm back in place, I thought I should solicit (can we do that here?) suggestions for dialing them in before I get that far. All comments and suggestions are welcome, and appreciated, and thank you. Here's what I got... old shock for ref.

Adjustments are Preload via the top, similar to the original lower spanner adjustment. And Rebound via the lower knob labeled Fast/Slow. I cannot turn the upper adjustment by hand without the included tool, but I can turn the bottom knob very easily with my fingers.
So aside from go ride it and see what I like, what are the basics; too little or too much of what will put me in the weeds?! I won't be scraping pegs, I want to be safely confident the rear end is going to stay where it's supposed to. I've been riding on what I'm sure are the original shocks, I couldn't compress them against the floor by hand, so likely I have no idea what I'm in for... as in how well the bike could ride. Cheers.
