if you haven't sworn off anything French by now
, another high end maker (Nitrogen not air) from France is Matris
These have spherical bearings too and high finish etc that comes AT A COST!
Available in Chrome or Black finish and should fit with Touring panniers and they include 2008-2011 Tourings in fitment list.

Each "click" makes a perceptible difference to the damping

All components made from Aluminium alloy are lapped and oxidised or anodized, to ensure they are lightweight, and long lasting

"Ride height adjuster built in when possible" - the photos are generic so I am not sure if that height adjustment feature comes with the Rocket III model.
