It's a very personal thing and depends so much on how you ride and on what sort of roads but this set-up works for me. The good thing is, if you go too far in either direction, it's easy to restore (although not the money unfortunately!).
Softening your forks should be easier and cheaper than mine as there are Öhlins springs that will drop straight in (around £120) and you shouldn't need any other modifications. You probably won't even need to remove the forks.
Your problem will be deciding what springs to choose. I mentioned earlier that standard 1100S forks were 7.5 N/mm but you've had yours tested at 8.5 N/mm. There should be a part number on the end that will tell you what spring rate they are. Yours should be 04744-75.
The ones in this picture will be 10.5N/mm. I think you should check what you're current part number is before ordering any replacements.
