Default Softail Rear Suspension Adjustment

New member, first post, let me know if I do this wrong. I've read through many months of posts and learned a lot but still my question remains. I would appreciate any and all advice. I ride solo on an 06 Heritage Softail Classic. I can only imagine that the factory setting has found a compromise setting with a bias regard towrds 2-up riding. I'd like to make my ride a bit more comfortable over longer rides withour sacrificing the control I now enjoy. Do I begin by turning the shocks 1 turn, 2 turns, more, less? Has anybody got a n idea where I can begin without casing undo problems and an endless loop of finding my way back? Any and all advise will be much appreciated. Thanks!

www.fatbillscustoms.com click on the preload section and it explains everything clearly with pictures for you to reference and a ballpark setting chart.
