I took the Sportster to Track developments near Castle Combe. I still have standard springs in the back and Marlin supplied on front coilovers. He recommended the following after doing corner weights and a lot of measurements of the vehicle.

I have managed to get some more info. At last I have found the formula I needed. Before I was transposing from Metric units and getting conflicting results.

Your choice is :- for comfort go with 250 Front and 260 rear. This would still be stiffer than a family saloon.
For a more sporting set up try 280 Front and 300 rear.
end:

I am yet to source some full length rear springs at 260lbs if anyone has supplier would be apreciated.
