Yes, i need comfort. The GSXR spring was tolerable even w the bit of preload it had. After further surfing I found shortening a spring isn't possible wo heat treating setup after cutting/reshaping. Was hoping to find dimensions of various stock springs for possible swapping-someone must've done such a list. I added extra holes in Roaringtoyz links to raise a bit. Next week here it may get near 50 so I can ride around the block and see how latest setup works. Not much time until the only toy running will be the Snow Blower!
