Im thinking about picking this up along with the emulsion shocks as a budget upgrade for my fat bob. Starting to get tired of the mushy stock components.
Looks like it comes on the Low Rider S standard along with the emulsion shocks.
Anyone using this kit or that has a Low Rider S that could provide some feedback?

I had seen that thread and they seem really good but a bit pricey.
I'm wanting to do cams, handlebars, and suspension so I'm trying to stay within $700-800 for forks and shocks combined.
I know the Ohlins would be by far better but I'm mainly just trying to get a reasonable improvement from the stock parts.
I'll have to take a look at the progressive kit too, seems decently priced.

you could always just drop in heavy springs for ~$100. no more squish
That's actually pretty tempting, was wanting to go more towards a cartridge kit but that's a really good price. Have you been pretty happy with them so far?

no problems, i upgraded to get rid of dive when i upgraded my front brakes. i'm looking to upgrade again to Ohlins but, for ***** and giggles.
Its a joke.... I laughed when I pulled the HD cartridge setup outta my LRS. For the money, do it right. HD shocks were awful too and too short. Even with HD kit the front was super divey and soft. Drove me nuts. Even stoplights it hunkered down too much, let alone canyons.
Like said springs would probanly work. Depending on you, might even be able to go with just a set of preload adjusters.

I too have a fat bob, I went with progressive springs and 10wt bel ray in the front, I chose progressive 430 for shocks,
I have about 550 spent on both the springs and shocks which was what my budget was at the time.
I know you can spend a lot more, I do feel I got my moneys worth.
