Stevie, I performed a similar mod to my FZS1000's springs: http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31941 along with plenty of other people who gave it a go if you can bear wading through the 18 pages. There was no noticeable loss of travel if the metal spacer was lengthened to compensate.
Joe, potholes are already an issue as the springs are too soft; anyone with firmer springs installed will tell you that the bike handles bumps better but at the cost of feeling harsher. I mentioned this cheap mod because most people won't buy aftermarket springs, either linear or progressive.
