Default Clunking Front Forks

Let me prefix this with, yes I do know that "They all do that Sir". However me forks are going clunkety clunk...

Its a '99 Curvy running presumed progressive front springs, unknown oil weight. When it hits a bump, 'manhole' sized, it feels like the suspension stops suspending almost as if the forks are bottoming out; I get a nice sounding clunk and the force is transfered up into me. Tis not nice. I know the forks are not bottoming out as I'm sure I can bounce them down further, but when I do you can feel a little something coming back through the bars. I don't get the cluck when transferring from a higher surface to a lower, but always get it transferring from a lower surface to a higher. Speedwise anything above 10mph and it appears and doesn't sound healthy. I cannot replicate it under heavy braking.

So thats the symptoms, what do we reckon?
