Default Bitubo shocks....any experience

Looking for new shocks from my wife's FLD. The Bitubo WME's are the leading contenders I've come across at the price point. On paper, they sound great. Anyone with real life experience with these? Any long term issues?

I just put some Bitubos on my sportster this past weekend, so I can't speak on longevity. But they seem really well built. Easily adjustable and heavy duty. On my quick jaunt around town, they seemed really nice. But again, I just put them on. Hopefully someone can chime in with your specific model. Good luck!!

They replaced a set of Ohlins after 50k miles and rebuilt 1x. I have bags and a tour pack and the only time it bottoms out is if I am riding 2up and take a sharp turn under power. I would certainly purchase again. They are adjustable and can be rebuilt.
