What forks?

Hello,

I have an old 76 XL250 that I want to turn into a fun little street machine. The P.O. tried to turn it into a chopper with solid rear struts and some ridiculous bars and seat. So far I have laced a 19" front rim onto it and put some chinese aftermarket shocks on it turned it into a more street tracker look. It runs great and is lots of fun, but I want to make it handle better now. The shocks are way to stiff, but I think I will get some Hagons for it.

Currently the front end is too high so I want to swap to a shorter, better handling fork. However there are tons of forks and I don't know which ones to use. I don't need extreme top of the line, but I do want something that will handle better.

Thanks,
Nick
 
I also want to have disk brakes, so I was thinking 90's street bike forks modded to accept a 19" wire wheel? Or earlier cb750 forks? I don't know. I have a lathe and access to a press and mill so I can make spacers and do some modifications myself.
