Couldn't figure why the bike has an R reg and yet its a later "facelift" model.
Then the penny dropped .. personal reg (nearly).

I quite liked the blue spring too, even when my bike was orange.
I like it even more now the bike is blue.
It started life yellow actually.

Let me know if you need my preload/sag info.
It should be easy enough to tweek the preload "on the road" anyway, as it only needs a tommy bar for the preload ring-nut.
My suggestion would be to err slightly on the high side initially.
This is partly because I reckon its safer to discover that you have a high speed stability issue (too high at the rear) than a reluctance to turn into faster corners (rear too low).
I made this discovery shortly before changing my underwear !
Also, its easier to reduce preload at the roadside, ie without unloading the rear end, than to increase it.
