The difference is unbelievable!

I had the same experience - new suspension was absolutely nite vesus day over the air suspension.
The lack of brake dive in the front end alone was unbelievable within the first mile I rode with the Progressive fork cartridges.

I just got a chance to ride mine too I used a pair of 13" adjustable shocks off a 2017 ultra the put a set of patriot double progressive springs in the front on my 2010 ultra and it was a nice difference in handling and comfort no nose dive at all glad I did both front and rear

Big improvements. Front was lacking. Progressive cartridges put in the front and it's a much, much improved ride.
But doing the rear only, especially on an older ride with miles...will only expose how bad the front end is...lol.
