yes it would bolt straight in if you wait another 3/4 days il have a gsxr shock for sale and it will be cheaper than the £110.

OK, so it'll bolt straight in. Questions abound now.......



1) Does the battery tray need cutting or whatever? (Prolly "no", since it "goes straight in")

2) Is there a difference in length between the two? If so, what's the effect on ride height / steering rake?

3) The difference will be great if others are to be believed, but will the setup be a nightmare?

Thanks guys,

Garry:rolleyes:

Interesting...the battery tray in the K3 is all part of the undertray - i.e. you cant just move it back - is the K4 different then?

btw, I think I paid around ?35 for my shock of ebay, so 110 sounds far too expensive.

There are quite a few knocking about as a lot of folk change the shocks early on for ohlins or similar, with very low (if no) miles...

no its the same all in 1 piece the hole lot just slides back nice takes very little time 2 do and dose the job 110%!

you dont need 2 cut into the battery box bit etc...
