The 2004 rear gsxr shock that I bought recently from ebay for my SK3 has lowering links on it. Even the tallest setting is lower than stock.

Short of making new dogbones for the gsxr shock (or drilling more holes in the lowered pair), could I just use the stock SV dogbones in place of the lowering bits?

Part of me can't think of why not, but I don't want to learn otherwise only after I get the back end apart... Thoughts?

Thanks! :)

(sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the previous zillion rear shock posts!)

Most of the time you wouldn't receive the dogbones with the shock. There isn't any reason why you shouldn't use the original SV ones.

The ad specifically mentioned the lowered links, so I knew that I was getting them, just that they had three sets of holes drilled, and I figured that at least one would be stock...

Great! Thanks.
