any harley dealership or reputable bike shops that carry harley parts. you will need the bushings and bolts and fluid also. It doesnt pay to just replace the seals. While you are there change it all. It is inexpensive. you also need the correct tools to seat the seals without damaging them. If you do not have the tools or the knowlege it is best to bring the bike to someone that knows what they are doing.
Softail shocks are under the transmission. They sit horizontally and are inline with the chassis. Unlike the shocks on all other Harleys, when you hit a bump on a Softail, the shocks get longer instead of shorter.
The softail has a swing arm with a shock system. Other models have two shocks mounted outside on pins.
The drain plug is located between the shocks.
Look under the bike between the shocks.
If it's a swingarm-type model use longer shocks, if it's a Softail use shorter shocks. Or you can use height-adjustable air shocks on any Harley with a rear suspension.

Get the original replacement shocks from the dealer/mopar, everything else will be either too stiff or too soft.
Only if the shocks need replacement.

The dampening is usually almost completely provided by the shock absorbers. Some can be repaired or recharged if they are gas shocks, but if the seals are failing, or the shock absorbers are worn, they will probably need replacement.
