Tutorial on adjusting monoshock on FXLRST?

Anyone know of instructions or a tutorial that explains how to adjust the monoshock on the FXLRST?
Other question: do all Softail 2018+ seats fit all softails or are some model specific.

Thanks!

Your owners manual should have the info you require on adjusting rear shock, LRST seats fit LRS, LR and sportglide, not Fatbob or the fat rear wheeled M8 softails- Fatboy, breakout, FXDR from memory

Seats are model specific, your seat should interchange with one from a Low Rider, LRS, and Sport Glide. Seats from a Heritage, Fat Boy, Fat Bob, etc will not fit.

all you can adjust is dampening, in or out...dependent on weight,

there is a chart in the owners manual

I don’t think that is dampening, I believe that is PRELOAD for setting up the rider and passengers weight. It would be nice to have a shock that allows for preload, compression, and rebound dampening. Pretty much every SportBike and sport touring bike I’ve owned had shocks with those adjustments. Including my ‘95 Buell 🤔
