The most available models have rebound damping adjustment, spring preload and separate ride height adjustment (+/-5mm). If you buy from the UK YSS Research and Development Center, Firefox Racing, they will fit the shock with a spring rate of your choice for an additional charge. I think it's like 40 bucks or so. I find their spring choice a little on the firm side (which I prefer), I am about 180 lbs without gear. I have never felt the need to change it when ordering after my first one (VF1000F). Hawk GT 1995 VFR750F ST1100 I think I'm on my 5th or 6th. I am very pleased with them.

Yup, as a matter of fact, I just texted w him and his recently operated-on right hand is doing great. Wade has the hard cast off and is ready to begin signaling fellow motor vehicle operators: He goes in to have the left hand done this week, and he says he’ll be ready to build by the time we get 15 or more deposits collected. Duc2V4 and I will get the order system set back up and report back at this location.

Interesting, RT spec'd a 1300 lb spring for me too and I'm heavier than you. You are correct, shim stacks are highly coveted and no suspension tuner would ever reveal their secret sauce. Thankfully from what I've read the OE showa uses a straight stack. Shouldn't be too difficult to make a pyramid stack that provides some level of improvement. The best you know is only the best you've ridden. So long as I don't taste the $600 sauce I don't know what I'll be missing.
