Many thanks! Any suggestions on rear spring rate?

First, I want to thank the folks on the board for providing such good info on fork springs, I have em on order and will get them next week. Can any of you suggest what rate of rear spring would be a good starting point for an 02 Lemans with a 225 husky lad riding? Again, your input is truly appreciated.

500 to 600 lbs/inch

I weigh 210lbs plus leathers, etc. and have a 475# spring that is just a little too soft.

I am going to try 525#, but would recommend 550# for your weight.

 

Sorry, I am surprised nobody responded.
