Default Dyna suspension

A quick question to help me decide which bike to buy.

Do the Dyna's have adjustable suspension. I thought they might have some sort of spring preload.

Thanks
Jim

I agree. The rear shocks have five different setting for the amount of load that the bike is carring. The first is for a person at about 175 pounds and so on.

Just to clarify, the adjustment is for rear spring preload only.

OK thanks

And the Softails have no adjustable suspension in their stock form. Is that right ?
