Claim 17:
18. The adjustable shock absorber system of claim 17, wherein the band assembly further comprises:
a displacement member, which comprises
a displacement arm; and
a band support, which is connected to an inner end of the displacement arm, such that the band support is curved to match a curvature of a first end of the elongated band, such that an outer surface of the band support is connected to the first end of the elongated band;

wherein an outer end of the connector member is pivotably connected to the outer end of the displacement arm along a connection axis, and a second end of the elongated band is detachably and pivotably connected to an inner end of the connector member;
such that the elongated band is configured to form a curve around a portion of the peripheral mounting surface, such that the first end of the elongated band is adjacent to the peripheral mounting surface, such that the first end of the elongated band follows a curvature of the peripheral mounting surface;
such that a clockwise rotation of the shock adjuster tool, when the tool grip portion is connected to the adjustment ring assembly in a first orientation, causes a clockwise rotation of the lever arm around the connection axis, such that the band support is pressured inwards, such that the first end of the elongated band is pressed into the peripheral mounting surface, and such that the second end of the elongated band is tightened along a length of the elongated band around the peripheral mounting surface, which causes the frictional grip between the tool grip portion and the adjustment ring assembly to tighten;
such that an anti-clockwise rotation of the shock adjuster tool, when the tool grip portion is connected to the adjustment ring assembly in the first orientation, causes an anti-clockwise rotation of the lever arm around the connection axis, such that the band support is pulled outwards, such that the first end of the elongated band is lifted from the peripheral mounting surface, and such that the second end of the elongated band is loosened along a length of the elongated band around the peripheral mounting surface, which causes the frictional grip between the tool grip portion and the adjustment ring assembly to loosen;
such that the anti-clockwise rotation of the shock adjuster tool, when the tool grip portion is connected to the adjustment ring assembly in the second orientation, causes an anti-clockwise rotation of the lever arm around the connection axis, such that the band support is pressured inwards, such that the first end of the elongated band is pressed into the peripheral mounting surface, and such that the second end of the elongated band is tightened along a length of the elongated band around the peripheral mounting surface, which causes the frictional grip between the tool grip portion and the adjustment ring assembly to tighten;
such that the clockwise rotation of the shock adjuster tool, when the tool grip portion is connected to the adjustment ring assembly in the second orientation, causes a clockwise rotation of the lever arm around the connection axis, such that the band support is pulled outwards, such that the first end of the elongated band is lifted from the peripheral mounting surface, and such that the second end of the elongated band is loosened along a length of the elongated band around the peripheral mounting surface, which causes the frictional grip between the tool grip portion and the adjustment ring assembly to loosen.
