Default Spifire Spring Struts..Whose tried them?

I have thinking about getting myself some Biltwell struts to lower my HD Forty Eight.

I recently came across these Spitfire Spring Struts...as anyone used these?
If so what do you think of them?

Those are cool. I guess it depends on your purpose for going with struts. I'm running struts for that slammed look on my fender/tire. I went licks because they are chromeoly (lightweight).

Basicalyl I want the lowere look, but without breaking my spine every time I ride.
These Will provide the lowering and I hope take the edge off is being a hard tail.

Just trying to find out if anyone has used them as I can't find a whole lot of info about them.

How do you find your bike with the solid struts on it?

I've thought about these on my Iron as well.
I know someone on here has used them, so hopefully they will see this thread.
