Default Adjust front forks

2002 DYNA FXDL
Just had my shocks rebuilt with new seals and new progressive springs.
The TOP of the forks have no adjustments.
ARE there ANY adjustments I can make?

I removed them had them rebuilt and then I reinstalled them. I did see some type of adjustment on the base of the forks near the front axle.
What exactly is that for?

Probably the drain plugs. I believe the FXDX models were the only TC88s with adjustable fronts.

the only thing you can adjust is preload. you would have to pull the caps off and start trying to adjust it for yourself. i can say this though.....i hope you talked to progressive first to make sure they are setup for you..... basically its not like legends cartridges that you can adjust preload etc. you will have to cut the spacers to figure it out yourself.
