I went with Hyperpro Street Box kit which comes with a rear shock (sprung for your weight), stiffer fork springs and fork oil.

You should call Beemershop.com. Ted porter, the owner doesn't have a lot of good stuff to say about Hyperpro. Progressive springs aren't truly progressive. They're dual rate which means you have part of your suspension at one rate and then you have another. The spring can be either too soft or too harsh. They are good when riding with different loads or single and two-up, but he isn't a fan for most applications. I had a dual rate spring on a tourer I owned and liked it. But that was a bike I rode either empty or fully loaded so the dual rate made sense there. Ted is way more knowledgeable and can offer good alternatives.

To answer avoysest's question. The HyperPro fork springs and shock are a huge improvement over the stock suspension. Even though, I gave them my weight and riding style, I think the shock spring is a little too stiff. Make sure you set the shock preload to spec.
