Im thinking about drilling the compression holes slightly bigger, and running 15 wt. fork oil with the spring preload full stiff. This should free up the compression to help with the harshness on bumps and slow down the rebound to control the stiff spring setting. Which holes are the compression control and which holes are the rebound control?
If you're even contemplating taking your forks apart you should just go ahead and install the cartridge emulators and new springs and enjoy the full adjustability that they bring. This would be your best bang for the buck.

So, just to clarify, NO mistake please, 2017 forks will perfectly fit 2014 without any further/additional mods, just a simple swap, correct ??.
Thanks.

That is correct. If you are able to do it all at once (ie no physical limitations requiring breaks) it will probably take about 30 minutes to change them.

Yes Peterbaron , it is a very easy swap , especially if you have a front stand , I used a Pitbull one.
