Rick,
The following isn't meant to be criticism of your suggestion, but just =
an observation from my experiences.
I put in a set of RT emulators and a Progressive Shock on a Concours and =
my whole attitude on "sag" changed.  After trying the scientific =
measurement techniques, the static sag on the rear just wouldn't hit the =
magic numbers.  Then I just adjusted things until they just felt right =
whether or not they fell into the magic 25-33 or didn't.  Did the same =
with fork and shock springs from Hyperpro on the ST.   I found that it =
became frustating and unproductive for me to try hit a range that comes =
out of the racing world but may or may not fit my real world combination =
of bike components and too many big mac's body.  The results on the road =
were excellent as well.
