Default CBR 954 mono shock

Im getting ready to do a bastard build, as most of em I do are. Gonna build me a single side swingarm 67 sportster. For the rear shock I want to use a set up off of a CBR 954. Anyone know the weight that is sitting on it on the stock bike? Im just wondering if I will need to change the coil spring and/or the shock itself depending on what I end up with for a final weight over the rear of the bike..
