I want to upgrade my front suspension. I really do not want to replace the triple trees or change out the forks. Can anyone recommend cartridges that I can install in place of my current springs? I changed out my fork oil to Amsoil shock therapy 10wt, and I'm happy with improvement in the front end dive, but I bet there are all around better preforming cartridges. Any suggestions?

 

I've been real happy with the H-D Premium stuff (F/R) about 20k so far.


If I was to spend more $$ Ohlins is the way I would go, I would have went Ohlins if they were available when I was ready to upgrade...

 

I am interested in to for a future mod.

 

Traxion

 

There's a handful of options and they're all much better than stock. Progressive Monotubes seem to be the most popular because of cost, ease of installation and no recurring fork oil changes. Harley's Premium cartridges work good but are harder to install and do require periodic fork oil changes. The plus over Monotubes is you don't have to worry if one of the nitrogen cartridges takes a dump. Ohlins has finally started to release their units although I haven't read much feedback yet. It'd shocking if they weren't good. I run the Harley Premium kit and it accomplished what I needed at a price I was comfortable with.
Having said all that, Traxxion seems to be the gold standard. Those that have run Traxxion and also used the others I mentioned above always rate them as the best. It's one of those deals where you get what you pay for.

 

if you plan on keeping this bike for a while, I'd study this thread.
