Need Monster 1100 Showa fork spring measurements

[mszilves]

Does anyone have fork spring measurements  for the stock Monster 1100 Showas ('09-10)?

Uncompressed length:
Inner diameter (mm):
Outer diameter (mm):

300mm
29.5mm
38.8mm
24 coil, 7 tight, 17 open

calculates out at around 0.47kg/mm, but once the closed section is compressed there's 7 coils less so it's around 0.67.  from my notes on the 09 model I replaced springs on.

Thanks very much brad!!   I just replaced the rear Sachs with an Ohlins unit, and am looking at replacing the front springs with linear rate ones for track duty.
