They are really good shocks. I had the older RS1 version on 2 different bikes, for solo riding, its hard to beat them with standard springs and super easy to adjust.

Yup. Have mine for 3 years now. And they have worked for me better than Legends and Pro Action. I only weigh 130 lbs tho.

I find the inconspicuous "piggyback" design of the RWD's perfect for me.
It is my personal preference to have the reservoirs discreetly tucked away rather than joining
the "trend" of displaying unnecessary clutter.

I like the look of them also.
I like the look of a clean rear end, and would tuck them in closer if I could, without them obstructing the rack for when I want to use it. But, like the speedo, I paid for them, I'm gonna show them off.

To each their own but I think the rear fender bracket setup looks bad ***. Especially with the Ohlins gold reservoir. It is a nice contrasting color.
Looks like something a factory race team would run.

"I paid for the whole speedometer, I'm gonna use the whole speedometer."
That's a cute saying, I'll probably borrow it some day, although I don't really understand how it pertains to this topic.
"And, they aren't unnecessary clutter, they're far more useful than a get back whip."
The RWD's hide the reservoirs, thus it really is not necessary to have the reservoirs on display.
I too am not a fan of the get back whip. Once again just a matter of personal preference but the latino blanket trend does nothing for me either.
When I see such things as well as reflectors on fork legs, saddlebag latches, and license plate brackets I think "clutter" (could look cleaner).

Right or wrong, some of us just have the mentality that fewer bolt on/stick on whatnots makes for a cleaner (less cluttered) bike.
Above all: please do not let my humble opinions detract from the pleasure that you derive from "showing off " what you paid for.
