Default Softer suspension for lighter & disabled rider needed

Hi
I have a situation where I need to make my 99 SV650S suspension more compliant – I am much lighter than the average rider so bumps are harsher making the ride uncomfortable and the handling slightly iffy on occasion. I also have a disability that means I cannot absorb the bumps too well, so I need the bike to do this for me (I live in Sheffield UK which is sort of MOTO X city).

I had imagined that (rear shock and fork) springs would exist in various ratings and that I might just get something ‘off the shelf’; indeed there are firms like Hagon, but they can’t do just the spring for the rear shock, it has to be the whole unit. I am looking into other ways but meantime wondered if anybody at SV.org could make usable suggestions?

Cheers,
Alex
