Those are the standard old air adjustable shocks. You can add air to adjust the ride. I've never liked them. The HD hand adjustables pop up in the classifieds an are an improvement. I tried them an they are a little better over all an much better on the minor bumps. I went to JNR air ride for height adjustment an love it.

They say the 13" hand adjustable are better than the 12" that I had but I've never tried them. If you have an owners manual look up the adjustment

Appears to be stock air shocks. Consult your owners manual!

Stock 13" air shocks, the filler inlet is behind the left saddlebag, use a shock pump, not a compressor.

You can change the oil in then from 5wt to 10wt. I found that helpful for about 3-4 years until I finally picked up some Legends for my 2012 Ultra Classic. Give it a try. Might be enough to make you happy for a while.
