There are all sorts of steps between oem and 'fixed.'  But one thing usually leads to another, pretty soon you've spent some real bucks on a bike that won't do what you want anyway, so why bother?

IF all you want is more spring in the back...run your stats thru a racetech.com spring rate search and get a number (probably something like a 5.4kg/mm), then buy a spring that fits from whomever you wish.  It only takes a few minutes to change the shock spring.

Be sure you set the race sag.  I'd say do that now...but at 250#, you're not going to end up with a reasonable set-up.  If you could even get TO a 100mm sag measurement, your free sag wouldn't even exist.

Even with a new shock spring....a 5.4 rear and the .35 fronts are going to be a mess.  As long as your re-springing things, doing both ends would be a big advantage.

Do the work yourself, and the springs alone (front and rear) will run you less than a couple hundred bucks.

Good Luck!!
