It surprises me that they are discontinuing the 6022. I bailed on the 800lb. spring at the beginning of the season - definitely not the right spring for me - and picked up a 9.0kg 6022 which is more to my liking. RT emailed at the time of the 6022 order to ask if I planned to use it on an Africa Twin. I figured they would continue production if it is being used on both models.
I can't say why RT decided that the 800lb. spring with minimal shims was "correct" for my setup, and decided it wasn't worth another conversation with them. So, I read through this and the 6022 thread again, then piggybacked off the collective expertise of the forum to arrive at the latest, and best to date, setup.
Maybe someone should get a bunch of Karl's spacers made up to allow for use of an appropriate Eibach 0800.250 spring.
