Lumpy,
Are you saying that as dual rate the FZS600's springs are linear, not progressive and the mod would not be effective for them?
I haven't altered my FZS600's springs, but obtained dual-rate springs from a 94-97 VFR750 & removed a few of the tighter coils; the mod works perfectly for me with about 112mm of suspension travel being used up without resorting to stoppies. From memory the VFR springs were virtually the same overall length as the FZS springs to start with.
Then again, my forks are no longer standard so I can't test theory out.
