I had 50mm springs on one of my old classics with 16 inch wheels, can't remember who they were made by but felt fine on the road.

Too low.
You'll be riding on the bump stops all the time.
Even if you cut the bump stops, you'll have next to no bump travel left in the dampers.

If the front ride height is less than about 350/355mm, you're on the oem 60mm front stops.
