I did not order the RAP since I do not ride two up. I do not even have a passenger seat. If I do any traveling, it will be with less than 50 lbs of gear so I am thinking I will not need to mess with the preload.
I think then you are good with the standard 422s.
Once you get them adjusted correctly you should be able to just leave them be.
I would make the adjustment just like the stock shocks.
As for adjustment for more aggressive riding I'll have to leave it to others to render an opinion on that.
Here's the adjustment procedure for the stock shocks.
New front and rear installed. Much firmer and smoother ride. Set up as recommended for my weight at OEM height. Shocks allow going 1 inch higher than OEM. Going with recommended setting for now. Will see how it rides. So far I am happy with it, but only 20 miles so far.
