Hey Guys, generic response here. Since I have not seen teh 440's up close and personal I can't speak to the information I just got from Progressive Tech.
Al, they say you have 10 levels of adjustment, keep playing with it, go light when alone crank it up with two up.
These shocks were designed with the bikes gross maximum weight in mind of 440 lbs. When you get close to that amount, it is going to affect the shocks performance, just like the Stockers.
Hope this helps.
