Abstract: An on-board mountable power unit, for ride-height adjustment of a “Softail” type of motorcycle, includes a pair of hydraulic actuators, each adapted to be mounted on the forward end of the rod of a piston and cylinder arrangement of a respective shock absorber of the rear suspension assembly of the motorcycle, after removal of the stub shaft extension of each rod. Each actuator is an hydraulic actuator ram having a housing, with longitudinally spaced forward and trailing ends between which is defined a chamber containing a piston movable between the ends. The piston has an elongate piston-rod that projects through an end plate at the trailing end of the housing, with a trailing end of he piston rod adapted for engagement with the forward end of the rod of the piston and cylinder arrangement of the respective shock absorber.
