Whole front end is not original to the bike to my knowledge.  I think the forks are CB900 Custom.  Front has dual disc, and the fork diamter is 39mm, and it has the air valves on tip of the tubes

I lowered the bike on the fork tubes, and it helps, but what I have noticed is front compresses ALOT.  on a normal ride they compress 3.5 inches.  they front end is real mushy, and when riding on a bumpy road the bike will rock back and forth, and kind of makes it hard to handle

IF i were to think to fix it i would want stiffer front springs.  My question is , is this possible and if so whats a stiff spring?
OR am I better off buying a standard set of forks for the bike
