adjustable rear travel

Hi...new poster, but a long time admirer.
I'm putting together an '04 Craftworks FRM 125 at the mo. It has adjustable rear travel from 5" to 6". I assume this is done by re-positioning the shock in the choice of two upper and lower mount holes available...the thing is...I'm not sure which holes give which travel! The frame has a four bar linkage and there are two holes in the lower shock mount and two in the upper. Can anyone tell me which holes are likely to give which travel? Many thanks for your help.

Like this?
The holes nearer the seat tube will give longer travel0 -
Yeah...kind of...except it's a later model with two holes in the bottom mount as well. Cheers for the feedback.0

The top holes: closest one will diefinitely increase leverage and travel.
Bottom ones may tune geoetrey and rate, and to a lesser extent may effect travel.0 -
pics of your mounts.
but basically closer to the pivots means more travel but a stiffer spring will be needed."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
