Progressive Springs and Static Sag

[Frankk]

Folks,

I know there has been some discussion re the pro and cons of progressive springs (eg Hyperpro), mainly focused on people lowering the F800GS. Some commentary on other forums suggests that progressive springs have more "static" sag than standard, again this seems to be in relation to lower springs. Perhaps the replacement springs were no heavy enough.

Therefore, I am wondering if anyone has fitted standard height progressive springs (front and rear) to a F650GS (twin)?

If so, did you notice any more static sag?

My wife has a Hyperpro lowering kit (springs) fitted to her 800GS. There does seem to be a lot more static sag - I guess that's how come she can now get a foot on the floor (she's 5'4")
