Looking for recommendations on front forks

I'm still looking for feedback on front fork improvements.

Bike is a 2019 cvo limited.
I've noticed there was a change with the fork tubes. The bottom of the tubes has 4 holes with what looks like a floating plastic "slide" on the inside.
I assume this has something to do with oil flow for compression and rebound.

My question is if an aftermarket (like Race tech) part is used will it play nice with the existing tube?

My goal is a nice smooth ride on moderate bumpy side roads and less nose dive on braking.
Anyone have experience and suggestions?

TIA

Hi HogMike,

I've recently fitted Bitubo fork cartridges too my 23 flhtk, and it's been a great improvement. Cheaper than the other options I could find too.

Here's a link.

Thanks, looked into that as well.
I'm looking into a couple of companies that offer a return policy if it doesn't work out.
