Default rear shock settings on street bob
I know this may sound novice, but how many settings are on the stock rear shocks of an 07 Street Bob? And how do I tell which is the softest setting? Hard to see the notches with those chrome lower covers. Not sure which setting to use. Bottoming out with myself(160 lbs) and my daughter(65lbs) two up over moderate bumps. I'm guessing trial and error is the best method but figured i'd ask.

5 and 1 is the softest just keep cranking it clockwise and you will hear/tell when it drops to 1.
