I put the low ones on my road king and ended up setting them on zero. They are beginning to loosen up and I may go to one complete turn. I could taste underwear when I hit a pot hole the other day.
I cant believe how these things keep the rear wheel connected to the ground...I dont skate when braking hard at stop signs anymore.

I weigh about 220 and ride 2 up most of the time. I figured out when the shocks are new they are definitely stiffer and the setting was very low. Give them about 750 to 1000 miles to break in and I think you'll increase the settings until you find your sweet spot!
