What's up guys and gals, bought myself an 81' Xs650 Special II and was originally planning on doing a cafe-style build but my motoX roots have overcome and I've decided to go dual-sport. I want to build a scrambler/tracker with a street-priority that I can still take trailing, nothing too serious though. Can anyone point me in a good direction for dual-sport knobs for this thing? I've found a rear that seems to be geared towards what I'm looking for, but can't find a front;

The tire sizes are 100/90/19 front and 130/90/16 rear.
One more question I had, I'm replacing my rear-shocks and front-shocks but am unsure what exactly I should look for. I was told to stay under 14" on the rear shocks, any specific suggestions for that? Also, on the front shocks, I was going to get cartridge emulators and fork-gators, what else should I get to properly rebuild the forks?
Sorry for the newb questions, ran some searches on knob tires and what not but I couldn't find any specifics
