Default Rear Shocks Question

I suspect I know the answer to this but....
The rear shocks on my 2016 SGS.... There is only an adjuster on ONE SIDE, and there's no interconnect between them.
It leaves me to think that Harley set the shocks up so one side dampens up movement, and the other dampens down. (Honda did that on the VTX 1800 front forks).

Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm really curious,

Do a search for a grammatically incorrect thread titled “How do it know” from just the other day and your question will be answered
