FZS1000 Standard Forks (Gen 1)

As with the fork lengths queried above, I cant seem to find any info in the Haynes manual on the standard spring rates (only the spring free length is given, 344mm)
So... any info on the std spring rates, and more importantly, what did you put in instead ?
Regarding the non standard springs various members have installed, in most cases they'd have taken advice from their chosen suspension guy, concentrating on weight and use. With that info they can advise on the most suitable spring and what oil weight.If you always ride solo, then linears would be the way to go, whereas progressives would suit more general use to encompass pillions, touring luggage etc. I've not used MCT, but members who have seem more than satisfied. I think their main advantage is that they're a road based specialist that's migrated into racing. I'll certainly be taking advise from them when finances allow.
