BMW S1000RR shock conversion question

Any idea what the spring rate of the spring you put in is? I have an old Fireblade shock in the garage and the spring is the same size but I must check the spring rate of it as I cannot remember which year Fireblade it was taken from.
Out of curiosity any idea of the combined weight of both of you, I was out with my eldest son on the back and our combined weight was about 170Kg and the spring felt a bit soft only on really bumpy roads. If I go touring on it this year I might need to upgrade the spring if increasing the static sag does not help.

I should be able to adjust the static sag more when I fit the 10mm spacer to the bottom spring seat..
