Now that makes sense. Just didn't read right without knowing that. Can't always understand what someone may imply and in this case I didn't.

Went ahead with Cogent mostly because they're not in CA. They don't stock 0.45kg/mm anymore anyway, it's 0.46kg/mm now.

Im 185lb and have 3" sag on the stock 5.6 kg spring. What difference you notice off road? Have you done the forks too? I meant to say sag not preload

Good to read these numbers as they are close to what I just ordered. I weigh around 200# geared up and want to load down the bike for a TAT run. Went with the moto-pro suggested .48/7.1 spring rates. I guess the idea is to be a little soft with the bike fully loaded and only a little stiff unloaded.
