Ohlins front tubes were laying everywhere near the back of my dealer's shop. The gold jobbies would look legit up front on my alpine white HS.

Go talk to them about it an do some measuring and see if they are swappable, may have to swap the lower brake bracketry for the HS to the Gold legs but they should bolt up and not be too much longer.
 
Maybe stronger (inside) springs? Following my wife better start riding slower and less agrassive braking! I'm used to the enginebraking from the Monster which was stronger than this one.
 
Why the tubes all over? But yes, bumped up my spring on the rear couple of years ago during a rebuild at 12 years old, lots of dive on the front, gold emulators and stiffer springs much better, new 10w oil too. Can't wait to see how much dive with me on it.
 
No telling what springs are stock, someone will take them out to get measured. The Multi12 fronts are .60, and were just barely enough for me till I hit a sudden bump or go down in a ditch, they would bottom. I'm 180 lbs.

Swapping forks can lead to lots of tradeoffs, like spacers for the brake discs, less travel. I would look to changing the springs first, if needed.
 
I was actually thinking I would send them to someone like Race Tech first before doing any swaps as a used set of Ohlins on flee bay are in the mid teens in price and I think the Race Tech gold valve set up is a couple hundred
 
Tuneboy makes a great CC for the Multi12. Everyone that gets it loves it. If the Hyper has the same ECU and electronics, he might address it as well in the future, who knows.
 
Yesterday, finally our first trip together. Me and my neighbour. 2 Strada's, white and red and a LOT OF FUN!:D

My neighbour did this evening a small trip and ..... noise at the front while he was braking hard at low speed! Fork??
 
The front suspension needs some work. Yesterday, I took an aggressive ride up Sandia Peak. A couple of rough spots in the turns really upset the front end. I also hit my center stand on the ground when the road had a dip in mid turn while leaned over. Hopefully Race Tech or Progressive will make better springs. I would like to try and change the oil first but not sure if I should use 5wt or 0wt. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
