@cruiseroutfit has a chart that shows the spring rate and free height of the OME springs:

For what it's worth, I tour with a sub tank and heavy loads on my 80 and wore out OME heavy rear springs in a few years. I switched to 2" lift Tour Flex progressive dual-rate springs, load rated at ~900 lb + (or thereabouts--their heaviest-duty rear spring), and these squat less, handle the load better and are more compliant on smaller bumps. They also have a surprising amount of flex.
