And if so what do you think about them?

They would be going on a 750.

I used the search function and I see this question has been asked before, and there was replies, but no real answers.  Some people got them and they were on projects, some people say for the money they look good enough from the pics.  But I didn't find any actual road use reviews, and now that they have been out for a while how do they last?

Somewhere there was a test by an individual and the conclusion was they were OK up to a mid-size motorcycle (250/350) that's going to be used. They are too chincy in construction to hold up to heavier use, but they look good.

I don't have the link though, just an opinion.

As I said in the above mentioned thread:

I have no direct experience with those particular shocks but they are Chinese junk and I believe you'd be buying garbage. Someone also mentioned in the referenced thread that a lot of discussion about them had taken place on another forum and that's exactly how they handled. I do believe that when it comes to suspension, anyways, you get what you pay for. Since they are priced for very little I believe that testifies to their worth.

Appear to be the same cheap chinese #$%* people have posted previously about in other threads.

'Nuff said.

Thanks for the replies.  Looks like I'll pass.
