Default Gonna pull the trigger on NEXGEN's any real world input?

Hi all,
Really considering the DK NEXGEN shocks for the '24 CVO to stop the bottoming out on the dips I dont notice while at speed. Anybody run them on a late model tourer have input either good or bad?
Thinking to go with the 12's (3.5" travel) so I can elim my 1" lowering blocks on the stock 13's. (fork tubes are cinched up about a half inch to keep the trail/rake w/ in range and no speed bump concerns.)

sounds like it's a common occurrence, but have you cranked up your preload to try and avoid the bottoming? the CVOs have preload AND rebound adjustments so you might experiment some more and possibly save yourself an unnecessary expensive replacement

too bad you can't get the stockers to work for you..mine work just fine, much better than on my previous M8, and they aren't as adjustable as the better ones they put on the CVOs ... you must be a really heavy dude if you still bottom out a lot after adjusting the preload properly .. good luck and be sure to report back on the new ones
