Saw this today, who is going to be the first to try these progressive rate springs?

Exactly, good progressive rate springs can get rid of most of the sharp stuff while still keeping you from bottoming out.
Progressive springs need to be ordered by your weight.
Interesting thread, zapf, post some pics please!
You can't see the internals. Forks looks the same outside but have a read of this EMULATORGV
and this Race Tech Sport Touring
It uses a stack of shims I believe that opens and closes depending on the speed of the oil flow / fork compression.
I have had the above done on my CBR1100XX where the forks are non adjustable, the differences are night and day.
I meant pics of New Zealand! I would love to come there someday.

Ok, so the bike already has progressive rate springs, and I could add the race tech emulators which will allow the oil to flow more rapidly which should take away the harsh jolts in the early part of the fork travel when going over the rough stuff? Does anyone know what the weight of the fork oil is the bike comes with? I notice in the ad i linked to at the beginning, the new springs come with 10 weight oil which, if its lighter, should allow the oil to flow more rapidly than the heavier stock oil. I'm sure it won't flow like adding the race tech valves of course... Now better flow won't help if I'm bottoming the suspension, in fact seems like that would make it more likely for that to happen, right?
Let us know how you like 4 holes open. I did 3 which made a huge difference over stock but have been thinking about doing the 4th on my next fork maintenance. I also went with the light spring and around 3 turns. Big bumps are handle pretty good.
