Norge stock shock: when was the upgrade?

I think it was sometime in mid 2007.
I had fitted one of those uprated springs, when they where both free from the shock, I measured the free lenght, the diameter, the coil wire thickness, they where all the same measurements and the same colour.
... and yes, it was an uprated spring.

The Breva 1100 and the 1200 Sport share the same part number as the Norge 1200. Anyone know if they're actually the same spring? I've only experienced excessive dragging on the stand on the Norge, and fitted an upgraded spring to fix.
But that's what the upgrade was, no? I remember that after I had the swap done the bike handled much better, well enough for my kind of riding. I'm sure a Hyperpro, EMC or Fournales would improve things even more, but that was never high on the list of priorities even before my bike got stolen 
Well, I also bought my (previous) Norge in 2007 (july), but according to the VIN it was almost a year old at that time. The one I'm looking at right now was 1st registered in April 2008, but constructed in 2007, so the jury is out on the shock (but not on the oil pump I hope!).
