Buddy of mine bought a 1998 Fxds. convertible dyna and would like to adjust the rear shocks .We are assuming the shocks are stock (Harley logo ) and they seem to have a set screw .Any advice on the adjustment (no manual) and how to view the setting etc thanks .TR

 

Review below links - questions., ask

Sag set to:

3/4" - more sensitive (some would say harsher - they're the ones who do not ride by feel)

1" - more plush

If they have a "Logo", they are probably not Original equipment. Better post a Pic

 

Yes , I am looking at pictures from stock bikes and they don't look to be factory more of the progressive 444 .Will try and post pictures ,thanks TR

 

They might be from Harley, just not original to an FXDS.

GooGoo FXR2, FXR3, maybe even FXR4...do they look like those shocks?

 

Here's the picture of the shocks


1998 dyna convertible , need info on how to adjust

 

Those are FOX shocks that came STD on FXR2,3,4 (like previously mentioned), but you could buy them over the parts counter also.

Looks like Spring Preload Adjustment only
