Ohlin 159's on the rear now, time to do the front. What do you recommend for the front end?

I did the ohlins beyond the install I have no complaints at a little over 1k miles.

Just be sure to order the tools and oil if you chose the ohlins

I am not doing the install. Just looking for some options.

4 options I am aware of:

Ohlin's
Progressive
HD
Traxxion

Legend Air Suspension now offers their Axeo FLH Front End Suspension.  Don't know if anyone on the site has tried it but it looks pretty good from what I can see on their website.

And like their rear shocks (which I've had on three bikes) there is a lifetime warranty.

I did not like the Ohlin forks after riding them for about 3k miles.  I contacted Howard at MotorCycle Metal and he did his magic on my forks.  The work he did took a fairly good product and made it great.

Whick Ohlin fronk fork cartridges did you not like... the 25mm?  What did you not like? Did you just ship the fork tubes to Howard?  Thanks!

I believe they were the FKC 101
Yep just took them off the bike and sent them to him. He modeled them as closely as possible to the larger tubes as he could with the shims he had, plus he did a little extra refining of the ports
