Left/Right Shock Different?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post.
I bought a used 03 FXD. I read in the manual that there are 15 settings(clicks) on the Dyna shock. On my bike, the right side will make 5 adjustments before it drops. On the left side it's only 3. Is this normal? I can't image that the left and right adjust differently. Is the left side broken by chance?
I appreciate any insight. I've searched a fair amount on adjusting the shocks, but havn't seen any reference to this.

If you have not turned them both all the way in both directions, how do you know how many adjustment clicks you actually have?
Apparently they just were not adjusted to the same position.

I have a stock pair of matching shocks brand new off of a 2010 FXDB layin in my shop, which should fit, not 100% sure.....you are welcome to if you find that the shocks are the problem, just shoot me a PM.

dumb question, but how far to the end. I turned one clockwise for 15 minutes. It just kept getting to 5 and then dropping, almost like a stripped bolt that loosens once tightened
