Default Hand adjustable shocks
How do you adjust them? I have a 2008 Dyna CVO I bought used and it came with the upgraded all chrome shocks? I understand that that you turn the upper portion by hand to adjust them, just not sure which way is which. I have ordered a manual, just wanted to adjust them now
