My '01 ST1100 has a Progressing shock/spring on the rear (bought the bike with it already in) and I really like it, and I weigh around 235 lbs. I did raise the rear about 1/2" because I weigh more than the previous owner, and the adjustment vastly improved the steering and cornering of the bike.
I agree that Hagon shocks/springs are good pieces. I put a pair on my '96 Nighthawk 750ST (I rebuilt the forks myself - oil 1/4" higher than spec) and the bike handles the twisties really well, even with the extra weight of the fairing and luggage:

That is a very well sorted 750. I had one of those in the past. Nice and cheap. Mine was a 92 I think. It’s what got traded for the ST.
