Anyone who may have modded their forks care to share the pro's and conn's of the change, IE progressive springs cartridges etc

I am about to add these this weekend.  Picked up from GuzziTech.  I will report back once I take it out.

I had RaceTech Gold valves and springs for my weight installed on my 2015 V7 Stone.  I was not pleased at the stock set-up at all.  Much more controlled at the front now.

Racetech gold valve emulator and springs - best bang for the buck to address both springs AND damping (under $300 US).  I still don't understand why guys do just springs...for the extra $160, do the emulators while you're in there.

Did the Matris springs rated for my weight with the adjustable fork caps and heavier oil. Made the bike much more surefooted in the corners and comfortable when braking at speed, no more nose dive.

Just a follow-up.  I installed my fork kit and wrote a very brief review of my experience here.
