For what it's worth -- the gsxr shock I have is a whopping 6mm shorter than the ninja 250 original shock. Doesn't seem like a large difference.

That should work to get softer spring. How much softer can be calculated by drawing pivots of dogbones, knuckle and swingarm-length. Due to variable-leverage ratios of the linkages, 6mm at shock can translate to 18-24mm change at rear-wheel depending upon which section of stroke.
