I like the way it looks, however, in the early eighties I did the same thing to my '82 1100E and man oh man it killed my back, I could not stand to ride the bike for more than a few miles so needless to say I put the regular shocks back on.

It all depends on the tension of the springs you are using in order to dampen the impact frequency. There are two main types of spring systems, high frequency low impact and low frequency high impact, you would most likely be needing the low frequency high impact.
