MOTON's spring rates?

Ok, the PSS9's are going away soon (I have it on the stiffest setting ) but they are overwhelmed with the GT640 kit and my driving needs !!

Can i get some feedback from those of you that have MOTON's and what spring rates you have on them?

i have the 650/750 combo and it's pretty good even on the rough streets of San Francisco. granted, Motons are unlike any other suspension i've ever ridden on - it's very hard to describe how the quick compression and rebound feel but it's almost like magic.

Tom you can dial back the cannister pressure and it becomes reasonably comfortable on the street. Is there more stress on the rubber bushings/joints.. Well yes there would be on bad roads.
