If you use a spring off a Husky Sachs they are a little shorter. I used a GasGas Sachs spring on my Husky and it had a little preload backed off all the way like you mentioned. I started at 10mm and ended up backing it off about 2mm. I just rode the bike and adjusted it little by little until I liked it.

BTW I was using a 5.6 spring.
