... As others have stated, I also thought they felt a little stiff when just riding around town by myself, but this feeling while cornering is as if they are too soft/loose.
While riding solo It has the same feeling, just less pronounced.
There is no way I could ride as hard as I used to in the corners, especially if there are dips, etc.

I'm sure the ride is a little different for all of us depending on our weight etc.(I'm about 220 and the wife about 115)
I'm just wondering if any of you have noticed anything similar? Any tips?
Hopefully I'll find the sweet spot........
I've found them to be excellent in corners. Without the electronic controller (it should be ready soon according to what I heard when I called Arnott last week) it's hard to describe what setting I'm using but I ride with the ground clearance about ½" higher than stock (about 6") to help increase maximum lean angle. The shock adjuster only controls rebound dampening and I have it set midway but found very little difference when set at either full CW or CCW. I've ridden both solo (about 200 lbs) and with a passenger (about 300 lbs) and the added ground clearance really helps and shock stiffness is very similar to the 440 shocks I was using before.
