Standing by to get blasted for this one.....but....break it down for me....which is the preload, compression etc.  I am assuming the compression is on the top of the forks and the rebound at the bottom.....thanks.

preload is on the top of the fork you turn with a 22mm wrench I think, rebound turn with a flat screw on top of the preload and compressing also turn with a flat screw is located at the bottom under the caliper.

BTW, I'll summarize how my 05 was dialed in during my recent track day, post soon to follow.
