I saw it on a website once but now i spent all say trying to find it...and does anyone know where i can find a list of rear springs to rider weight?

Here's my favorite site. This is the main page with all the info. You can click on calculate spring rates for the forks and the rear shock. It will have a popup that asks for you personal info so make sure you allow the pop up.

It looks like you have to call for the rear spring... or maybe I'm just to heavy?

Yes, I have been to that site in the past. However, the only year they listed for our bike is 2008! Am I missing something?

My Bike came with a seat concept low seat ... I personally think those seats are ugly along with the terrible seat cover .. but i did like the softer density foam that is for sure .. I myself removed the seat cover and sanded out the side saddlebags with an angle grinder and a sanding flap disc and reupholstered with an OEM seat cover ... ..take your time and you can remove some of the foam down out of the seat ..lots of youtube how-to videos out there ..
