FXD Front fork springs
Hi. I need to do my fork oil before spring so I was going to upgrade the springs in my 08 FXD 49mm forks. Anyone ever used Patriot genesis? https://www.speed-kingscycle.com/products/patriot-suspension-genesis-front-end-springs
These were recommended as the best bang for the buck by my local indy. Id never heard of them before. Only the typical brands (progressive, ohlins, legends, fox)
Any suggestions are welcome. I know good stuff isn't cheap, and cheap stuff isn't good but I'm looking for best bang for the buck.
Im 150lb rider. Riding is split between ripping up back roads/twisties and highway touring.
Thanks

I like them better than the Progressives that I removed, but to be fair I installed Ricor Intiminators at the same

Have used Racetechs in 3 different HDs, an XLH and two Dynas. Have a set on the shelf for an XLCH build. They work well in our primitive front forks, along with the right oil. Can make a discernible difference
