LOL what your asking for is more work than the Bike ! LOL
I'll see if I can figure out how to measure the springs
.... to get the shock out I must remove the lower linkage i know that the swing arm does move but how easy it will move is another story...
I'd have to remove the rear wheel to do that right.... and that wheel is very heavy.....reminds me of the back wheel of the VT1100 honda I had !...
....
Ok I'll see what I can do !
.....

I got some more info... the stock spring is 810 lbs. no wonder it rides so hard right !!! And putting in a 537 lb. spring should by all accounts make for a softer ride according to Mr. Young on the china riders forum. but I feel no difference at all. he went the route to have a custom shock made and tried 3 springs for it... but that was months ago and he can't remember all the details..... he's old and has had recent health problems .
