Looking for any thoughts to update M2L forks. Planning to "rebuild". I am at 220lbs and trying to reduce some dive effect while braking. I am assuming stock springs in place. Replace springs, pre-load spacer and/or oil?...looking for anyone who did successful update on M2L. American Sport Bike response was helpful but did not have specific setup for the shorter M2L, might have to experiment. Suggested to use 10 wt. Thanks in advance for your responses.

My initial effort is to work with the M2L forks(shorter than M2). Future consideration of component swap TBD. Thanks Ken for your update as possible option. Any more thoughts on springs, oil options used are welcome.
