I have those on my sporty. Work fairly well 2-up when set to mid to upper preload settings. Cuts down on the bottoming out, but you still only have so much travel. It's stiffer solo, and I back it down to the lowest setting, which feels to me like the stock shocks cranked up in the upper settings. I got them because they were cheaper than the next step, progressives. I didn't want to do the RK shocks that everyone raves about, although it would've been cheaper I guess. They are not comfort shocks, but were a must-have to ride 2-up. The bike bottomed hard 2-up with the stock shocks. The roads here are pretty bad. They came with black springs and top covers, not chrome top covers like the pic.
