In the '21-'22 off season (November '21) I had Traxxion Dynamics service my '13s forks and shock. In this case, I had them rebuilt and basic cartridge upgrade. The cost at that time was $1200 + s&h to and from.

Overall my experience was positive. They tuned them to my specified rider weight, also possibly taking into account riding style and expectations. I'm not certain to what extent they took anything into account but ass-factor says they did a good enough job I feel like it was worth it. The ride does seem a little more stable than stock and I would say overall hitting bumps is less disruptive to the bike. I also feel like there's slightly less braking dive, which is something customer service stated I would experience.

I have no (track times, etc.) numbers before or after, so take ass-factor for what it's worth. Generally, other's have also seemed to have satisfactory results and Traxxion was pretty well known for ZX-14s at some time, although they seem to mostly be known for Gold Wings at this time (and now that Gold Wings are done?).

Turn Around Time
In my particular case, they were able to turn around faster than their stated dates I believe they had them 3 days and stated it would be 10. They returned the OE springs and cartridge parts, and the return packaging was sufficient.

They provided a shock dyno results and some other information. Based on their tuning, they used 7w in my forks instead of the stock 5w. They also detected small tolerance issues with the fork shafts and corrected them.

Bling
Not much in the bling area, they put small stickers on the forks and that is it. The shock spring was gray, so nothing special there as far as standing out. Maybe you can ask for a colored spring or something, but I didn't ask.

Minor issues
The spring the put on the rear shock had a few scuffs and chips in the finish, and one of my fork legs had a scuff on a corner that was not there when I shipped it out. I didn't feel like either of these were significant enough for me to complain about, but someone might so you may want to carefully inspect your parts depending on how much of a stickler you are.

Would I recommend/and or use again? Yes and yes.

Had Traxxion Dynamics perform the same service for me in 2017. At 275 pounds the OEM set up was mush. After the service the bike set up "higher". Went from flat foot to slight tippy toe at rest. Have changed the fluid a few times since then and follow the settings they provided with the service. Like you, no track times but a much stiffer and stable ride.

I'm 215-230. My 08 had very floaty forks but they got the job done. I switched to Ohlins and the float went away. I can't say I had any better control over the bike after getting used to the float of the OEM forks. I sure wouldn't have gone back to OEM though. My 2024 14R seems to have stiffer forks than my Gen1 did.

I'm still looking over the new bike and actually, I'm amazed at how many little updates were put into the 14R. The Gen1 was still a great bike but I gotta hand it to Kaw, they worked out every little bug in the Gen2. I can't see a lot more improvement if they ever make a Gen3 other than increased power. If that were feasible, that would set the motorcycle industry on its ear. Screw the H2, let's make a stronger 14RR. I'd be the first to go out and buy it and I'd keep my Gen2. Still need a Gen1 to replace what I had. They're all great bikes.
