Never heard of them, but suspension interests me so I looked them up. For a company asking well over 500 bucks for a set of shocks, they sure offer very little in the way of schematics, design, and overall description. If I wanted to spend big money on custom shocks, I would look into Ohlins, JRI, or Progressive. Motorcycle Metal and Progressive are both forum sponsors, and Suspension Technologies is not. I would stick with a known company. That's what I think of them.

No info to make them stand out from other brands. If you are looking for good quality shocks there are brands other HDF members have found work very well, as suggested by bikerlaw.

I purchased a set of these shocks late last year. Are they better then stock...yes. Are they adjustable...somewhat. After some ride time on these shocks I am going to buy a pair of JRi shocks. The Suspension Tech shocks are not that great for two up riding and you still get a harsh ride over stutter bumps and rough roads. I would suggest buying a better shock (Ohlins or JRi) these are are a superior product and your butt will appreciate the dollars spent.
