Comes out to like a 728 pound spring? I dont know if I did it correctly or not.

Thankx, I have an ohlins shock for a CBR f2-f3 and got it to fit my MC28. The spring is too stiffed/ Ride too harshed & bumpy. Will get it resprung & revalved.

Check your sag numbers before you blame the spring.

The spring may be OK, but I would guess the valving is DEFINATELY too stiff.
