WOAH!! The preload adjusters are almost fully in!!
May I ask you why is that much? 
I could barely ride with such a stiff fork 🙄 (EDIT: with OEM springs inside)

Do you know what spring rate was installed and how much pre-load was built in when assembling the forks?

No I don't.
That's why I asked; I'm curious
My assumption (without any info) was that a conversion usually starts from stock equipment. so the spring rate is OEM's.
With the same fork, I put my adjuster almost unscrewed, so I asked to clarify.

Your comment sounds like an accusation; did I do something wrong? If so, I'm very sorry; t wasn't my intention to offend anybody

No accusation, sorry you took as such. I certainly don't feel offended, mine was merely a question too.  It might not be a stiff fork, you seemed quite shocked by what you saw.

Cheers.

Thanks for clarification, Cap. Very appreciated 🙂
All of us have different riding styles and preferences, indeed.
In fact, just to take my reference, I made the same conversion and kept the preload at the minimum (I like the suspensions free to move, even if I feel the bike moving)
