mate just find the forks you want with a set of triples attached, then its just a matter of swapping the stem's over, which may be press in press out or may need some machining.

I was wondering if there were forks that would be a straight up swap.Not looking to change the height or frame geometry, I like the handling as is.

If you like the handling as is, why swap?

I meant that the design works for me but I would like to improve the ride.It seems a fairly common upgrade.

Sorry, OP - I think you'll want to research different fork oil and replacement spring options instead of buying entire assemblies. I don't think there's really a better way to get what you're looking for. Check the forums to see what others are doing with your bike model.
