Default Drag Specialties Adjustable Shocks

Has anyone tried the adjustable shocks from Drag? They sell for $270, seems like a cheap upgrade.

I couldn't get your link to work. The ones I'm talking about have a adjustment nut on the bottom. http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/drag-specialties-ride-height-adjustable-shocks-12-inch-black-harley-davidson-fl-touring-84-up/part/DS-1310-1206

JUNK! Here's the story. Ordered a pair of these 13" Install took 1 hr. I adjusted the SAG and went and got the wife and took a ride. In the first 100 yards, shocks were rock hard and botomed out. I went Hmmmmm. Went back home, rechecked SAG all good, set the tension up 8 turns. I took it for a ride. Rock hard and bottomed out solo. Hmmmmmm. Went back home, removed the shocks and extended the shock length fully to 13.5" and set the tension to full. I went for a ride, Shocks road rough and bottomed out over small dips in the road, solo. Hmmmmm. Came home and removed them, put my air shocks back on and left on vacation. When I got back I sent them back to Cruiser Customizing and waited for a month for a credit back.
