900 Sie forks upgrade?

Hi all, OK I doing a bit of a winter sort out with my much tweeked 1994 M900. I've had the rear shock recond, I've extended the side stand (due to having extended the rear suspension hoop), adjusted the shape of the brake pedal so it's a bit easier to find?! and now I'm contemplating up-grading the 2001 M900 Sie Showa forks (fully adjustable), possibly with a cartridge kit. So over to you-all what's on offer, what works & what doesn't, what have you tried etc.? One further thing is the spring stiffness question any suggestions for a 90kg lump like me (raised rear end, shock fitted with a 29/90 spring (i.e. 90 newtons or is it 90kgs/mm sorry I haven't a clue), clip ons & rearsets, and strictly solo riding only. All suggestion welcome, Bitza.
