Default Front suspension info

What are some good suspension options. Right now I like the Bitubo wmeo I just installed and leaning towards their front suspension no tubes that adjust for preload and dampening. Will stay stock height. Any links to comparison or videos welcome. Want something with good travel and adjustments. Weigh 170. Currently running stock springs with se oil and knock off Chinese preload adjusters( just added Harley orings works as they should. Nice difference from stock but with new Bitubo setup correctly I can only imagine how nice a good set would add to ride quality.

i went with the GP suspension 25mm inserts on my low rider S. There are many options including ohlins, bitubo legend, progressive, and i believe Fox makes some front ones too. They all vary on adjustability and capability. In many cases just changing out the springs + the fork oil can make a drastic difference.

I wanted my suspension to be as capable and adjustable as that of a sport bike so I went the route I did.
