No fork dive
Hello,
I recently posted regarding my suspension upgrades.
This is just an additional note to say how impressed I am with:
Premium ride single cartridge fork kit: Standard height: part # 45500158
that I fitted to my 2014 FLHTK.
The front end is much firmer now, without losing compliance.
What really impresses me is the almost total absence of fork dive under braking - she's rock solid now. When I try to bounce the front end while stopped there is heaps of resistance.
A really good upgrade which I'd recommend to anyone.

Improvement
Don't get me wrong there is still compliance in the front end - it reacts to bumps. I was just saying that the undesirable fork dive trait I had with the stock setup was eliminated.

I have done this also. I'm very pleased with it I think it feels like it sticks in the corners. Before always felt like it wanted to wander in the corners like it traded between over, under steering all with in the same corner.

I wanted the Progressive monotubes when I bought my 15 RGS back in Oct, but they kept pushing back the release date from Nov into spring, and I didn't want to wait any longer. Had them on my 11 SG and was really pleased.
I'm really happy with the HD cartridge set up, and can't tell much of a difference.
