Can anyone suggest a source for a heavier rear shock spring for my 2021 NC 750?

Mrbios,Research shows that swapping out coils springs is a thing of the past. The problem with a complete assembly - shock & coil spring you can't select the spring rate and they don't specify the spring rate.
Mrbios, link appears to be brokenThanks for the update and info. Upon doing more research the coils can be swapped out but the bottom coil seat needs to to either be replaced or have something added to keep a larger more common diameter spring centered. The spring Honda choose has an ID of 2" and most aftermarket coil springs used on cars and known as Coil-overs (Coil Spring Over the shock absorber) start with an ID of 2.25 and even more common is and ID of 2.50". The second part that is odd is 9.5" length where 9 or 10" is common. But it is really the adapter for the inner diameter that matters the most as 9" or 10" will work.
One takeaway from my research is that people are doing everything imaginable in the way of suspension modifications - mostly coilovers for the street and off-road and the only class of vehicles that gets left out is regular motorcycles (except for limited offerings for sport bikes). Here we find ourselves with a great all-around bike the NCX series that really could use suspension that can handle a lot of worn-out pavement.
