Default Replacement shocks for 2007 Softail

I recently was fortunate enough to find a 2007 CVO Softail Springer with less than 1500 miles on the speedo. The bike had been stored in a climate controlled building for the past 17 years and was sold as part of an estate sale. Love riding this bike, but the shock absorbers are a bit too harsh for this old biker's bones at my tender age of 81. Consequently looking for a set of adjustable shocks or any other suggestions anyone might have for replacement shocks. Thanks and be careful out there, because there be cagers, idiots and dragons!!!!

You might see if you can loosen the preload on the shocks. Might be set up for two up riding.
