Default Arlen Ness Dampers

I know most of us use the Progressive lowering springs but I can not find anyone that has used the Ness Lowering Dampers.

A buddy just picked them up and was asking about them and I did not know a thing about them nor had I heard anyone that had used them.

Has anyone here used them and if so are they any good? They are much cheaper then the Progressive and that is what concerns me. They say they use the HD spring and I told him that would be my first concern.

What says you? Anyone know anything about them?

Have used them for a couple of years work well for me.
Were fairly easy to install.
I do run the heavier SE oil in the forks now otherwise no worries!

BLKnCHRME09Deluxe had them, then switched to Progressive. He's the only one I know who's had them both on the same bike. You might ask him if he doesn't answer here.
