Probably too late now but I put the stock spring on my aftermarket shock absorber, the stock stuff felt rather brick like but i put 5mm of preload on the stock one from free in the vice as in it wasnt fitted to the bike when i did it and it feels great.
so yeh i will go with vardens 3 turns from no preload.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?
