Default 08 Street Bob Shocks\\; Adjustable?

Ok, flame me if you will but I did a search here and read my factory manual twice and I cannot find out if the factory shocks are adjustable? I know this will be a stupid question but I just cant find the answer.

Please be kind!!!

They're 5 way adjustable. Need the spanner wrench from the dealer to turn em. Dont believe the guys that say they turn em by hand. They got gorilla mitts for hands and turn green when you **** em off.

I hope you're talking about the rears. If youre talking about the forks, I'm gonna look pretty darn dumb.

IF THEY ARE , WHICH I DON'T THINK SO, IT WOULD ONLY BE A PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT ANYWAY. NOT A HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.

Yeah, the preload is what I am looking for. But I dont see anything or anywhere on the shock that would take an adjustment. Guess I better look closer.
