Pointy one is soft and short.

What shocks you can use depends on your weight.

Yeah, a big guy and a little guy need a different spring...

03-06 ZX6R one will work.

so what would be best for me?

i dont carry pillions as i only have a single seat.

zx6, zx10, busa, gsxr? or is there any thing else i can consider?

how will this change the handerling of the bike?

I'm about 15.5 stone & I have tried both the 6 & 10 shocks, they are fine
