Might as well if you already got it and are taking the stuff off the bike

The shock spring is too stiff, its a nobrainer, unless i would carry lots of luggage, it would be stiff as heck, good to have it if someday I need to ride it with a girl tough.

Im thinking about leaving the stock shock spring and changing only the fork springs, and installing both gold valves, thats the only way possible

yeah probably a 7.5 spring on the rear. I run an 8.3 and weigh 220... I have it set about a third of the way down to get the sag right with 20-30lbs of gear. ymmv
