The dealer is FOS...the front suspension is just as bad as the rear, maybe worse because of the dive when hitting the brakes.  At least do the Progressive Monotubes.  I can't think of one single person in 7 years of being on this forum who has regretted suspension upgrades and not wished they had done it much sooner.

Ditto. H-D front end is weak. Put in Prog. Monotube when installing Legends and it makes a significant difference. Would never 2nd quess my decision to do this.

I put in Arnotts and used Progressive springs, before Monotubes came out.  I made the front 1" lower.

A short term upgrade is changing the fluid to something thicker.

I currently run a 30 weight with a 1" lowering kit.
