And may be worth mentioning that when I rode the bike with the 05 shock, hitting a speed bump seemed to buck me up out of the seat and onto the handlebars --- so it seems that the original shock is now going back on the bike.

What's with the super stiff spring rate? It's not a track bike -- and even a street bike is supposed to have ~30% sag in the rear. All of these shocks (09/05) seem waaaay to stiff.

The 09 was a 9.1k spring I believe, and this 05 is a 7.3kg yet both are rock hard.
