A ride-height robust sensor measures shock absorber travel and monitors absolute ride-height in a front and rear shock absorber of a motorcycle regardless of varying cargo weights. Rather than modifying the frame, the sensor is mountable directly to a motorcycle rear shock absorber using a novel upper mount and lower mount. A second sensor is mountable to a front shock absorber using a novel ride-height upper fork bracket and ride-height lower fork bracket. A novel ride-height display module and attendant control module provide a visual display of shock height using a multicolored six LED array. User-customised ride-height and dismount height are activated upon motor ignition and cutoff using a solenoid control module. Components are electronically isolated from the motorcycle ignition system and shock solenoids for accuracy and reliability. The ride-height controller enters sleep mode when not in use and is installable by the user.
