anybody got any opinions?  have a set of 440's in my garage that are brand new that were going on my '07 but with my '09 it rides so good I am almost afraid to change to the progressives.

The 09 and 10 stock air shocks work pretty well with their increased pressures.  It's easy to do so try the 440's and if you don't like them you can always go back to stock..  Each of us are different in what we like/want.

Installed the 440's on my '95, '09 AND my 2010.....great improvement over stock air shocks, especially the shorter air shocks IMO.
I have Works shocks going on my 2010 Monday, stay tuned for my "unbiased" report!

I installed 440 on my 09 SERG and have maybe 1000 miles on them.  They seem to bottom occassionally and I was wondering what sort of setting is run with say 200-225 lbs on the bike (rider and weight)

Depending on the length and springs (mine are 13" and 102/155) I use about 3 rings on the preload. Works fine except when I load the trailer.
