Any good? Well, they're good for holding the fender off the wheel, but they're underdamped, oversprung (for most riders, if you tip the scales at 200 lbs or so they may be OK), and too short for performance applications (steering gets lighter and more linear with shocks 13.25"-13.5" eye-to-eye with preload set for laden sag of 30 mm. +/- 5). Those Monzas look trick, but that's about it. You'll get better performance out of a pair of Plain Jane Progressive 14's hung with the right springs.

Agreed.
I have a pair fitted to my street tracker and they are awful. They do however match the front suspension which is equally bad!
