Found that, anyone know if that is per spring or a set? Even if it is per spring, seems like a pretty good deal. What would be a good spring weight recomendation for a guy whose about 240ish with all the gear?

Replied to your PM, sorry for the delay.

Those say they are for Ohlins R&T forks, I'm pretty sure those don't fit the stock Monster forks.

NP on the pm. I might have linked the wrong page. They had a thing where I picked Duc, M900, 2000-2001 and it brought me those. But I was looking at everything and might have been on the wrong page. Actually it says Ohlins-Road-and-Track-Fork-Springs-2001-Ducati-M900-Monster-Parts.aspx in the website url.

Also, would it be a bad Idea to go away from the stock progressive spring to one like this if I ride two up much? I mean I don't ATM but my GF kind of wants to ride more, but she is a scaredy-cat.

Progressive or dual-rate springs aren't a good idea, IMO.
They're a technique used by manufacturers to make a spring that works equally poorly for a wide range of riders.

If you're riding regularly 2-up, you can go higher on the rear spring rate, and just suffer a bit when riding solo.
