    I have seen several posts about adjusting rear shock settings but what I haven't seen (or found, anyway) is where on the shock I would find the adjuster points. In other words, where on the shock is the Preload adjuster, the Compression adjuster, and the Rebound adjuster located?

    I presume you don't have an owner's manual then ?

    assuming it's an original equipment shock then the adjusters are as follows :

    1) Preload: there is a round hole in the frame on the left side through which you place the extended (8mm I think) socket wrench found in your toolkit. You turn this clockwise to increase preload.
    2)Damping adjuster : there is no seperate adjuster for compression/rebound only one for both. This is located on the bottom shock mount and is adjusted by screwdriver.

    Easy to see here..

    Hope this helps.
