So this is my assesment thus far, and i suppose they are still breaking in with about 300 miles thus far.  They seem great 90% of the time.  The other 10% they feel maybe to firm, i am not sure as i am not a suspension guru.  So the 10%, kind of feels like when your riding your bike and the tires have way to much air in them.  I suppose there is a way to tune them some what for this by altering the oil from the prescribed amount or viscosity.  I will keep riding with them, until i feel they are completely broken in and decide from there.

It seemed like it took around 1k for the HD Premium front to "settle in" on the '09...

The CVORG that I rode with the PS (lowered f&r) felt the same way ~ to firm, all the time (not just 10%).
