I'm using those exact same shocks on my KD80 project here: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=884627

I haven't ridden with them yet but they seem pretty stiffly sprung. The reviews I have seen say they aren't too bad for the price and they can be taken apart to be rebuilt/ put fresh oil in them, they even have valve shim stacks in them. Apparently their design is a copy of another much more expensive brand's.
