I don't believe that when you adjust the shock that it only affects the rebound. Because the shocks work on a 20/80. So, when you make an adjustment it changes both fore and aft.

Try it, and prove it to yourself. I have a roadster and did this test. Disconnect the shock link, then make a change to the adjuster, then move the shock arm up and down. Make another adjustment and do the same test. You will feel a different resistance up and down on each adjustment.
