Here's an option using Fox front and rear for your bike:

This is another option for front, but I am not sure they have a pre-2015 cartridge:

Bitubos are nice, especially with Traxxion front suspension. There wasn’t much available back In late 2008 when I got them.

Just Ride!

May have been 2009 when I installed them

Here is a comparison between fox and legends by Laidlaw if interested. I installed fox prior to this comparison and am happy. Installing fox cartridges as winter project.

so based on this thread, i went ahead and ordered a set of the legends from hd-dude in 13''.  they came in today.  beautiful shocks.  installation was a breeze, 10 minutes and i was ready to adjust them.  checked the pre set sag, and it was a little low.  decreased the preload about 4 turns and it was right on the money.  only got to do a quick 20 miles so not really a good shake down for them, but so far, i'm very happy.  i knew it was gonna be better right from the start when i pulled out of my driveway.  with the old shocks, they kinda 'clank' when i hit the transition from driveway to street, these shocks actually move when i do that.  the other thing i noticed is that the stock shocks, whenever you hit a small bump, ie. expansion joint, etc., they tend to be a sharp hit.  with the legends, sure, you know you hit a bump, but it doesn't jolt you up through your back.

thanks to hd-dude for the quick service, and great pricing.  and thanks to PayPal for 6 months interest free.  new shocks, and didn't have to wipe out the bank account.  what could be better?

I've installed a couple sets now, one on a dyna and another on a late bagger. Great shocks! They feel plusher than the Revo A and also have an added adjustment for compression dampening.
