I have
I have done several adjustments to the damping and can't find a setting that's really soft and not to bouncy. I'm 240+ with riding gear and I find it to be to sharp on rebound. What I think the bike needs a spring pretension adjustment, unfortunately I haven't found a suspension company that is willing to make a new rear shock for such a limited production bike.

I stiffened mine up some. I adjusted it from the stock position to halfway between stock and full +. Just a personal preference. I am 260.

adjustment
I've adjusted mine all the way to the softest setting. I'm 195 lbs and I wanted it as smooth as I could. Since I'm not riding with a passenger and I'm not a super big guy, I keep the tire pressures at 41 front and 41 back and the suspension at soft. It works for me. 8)

Hadn't noticed
I haven't noticed a lot of floating beyond anything that I feel comfortable with when it's set on the soft suspension I've been on pretty smooth roads and the beast is so heavy that I haven't concentrated on the difference to much. I've only taken her on beauty rides and not daily commuter stuff. I did take one strange corner a little quick and scaped the acorn once after I changed the setting. I wasn't sure if that had to do with the bike being more soft and dipping down easier during a hard corner or my still getting use to a crusier vs my CBR 600 and how hard I can lean/corner it. Sorry I don't have more experience on it yet.
