F800R upside-down Fork Spring Upgrade

All,

I would like to increase the spring rate of the forks for my 2015 F800R. It is the first year for the upside-down forks. They are non-adjustable. I have had little luck finding out the stock components (spring rate/type) of these forks. Has any one delved into this type of project before? Are these forks just an upside-down damper rod fork? Are the springs progressive or linear? Any recommended vendors for components? Thanks in advance for any info on this subject.
 
From the Max parts fiche - the spring looks linear (but it's always hard to tell with these drawings) - it's a rather short spring too. I would assume that they are made by WP, but I wasn't able to confirm that.


It looks like HyperPro sells two of their fork kits for your model year.

Also Traxxion sells a couple kits as well

I will agree with rwadamsidaho - give Ted a call as there may be more options (noting that they may or may not be available due to the fires in the area)
