Will a 2012 zx10 shock fit an unkown bike?

I think I can guess the answer, it looks like it'll interfere with the chain & swing arm but I thought I'd check since there seems to be quite a few on eBay at the mo. anyone any ideas? Would it fit?

I'd say no, looks like the reservoir sticks too far out. I just fitted a 2006 Kawasaki ZZR1400 shock which worked a treat, just needed to take the plastic battery protector thing off.

I don't think that'll fit. The reservoir will hit the battery box.

Was that on a curvy or pointy?

I didn't actually bother when I had it, I remember reading somewhere that it was 330mm. I haven't noticed any difference in the ride height, just seemed a lot more planted to the road after a bit of messing around with the compression + rebound.

On a pointy, only took a few hours to fit. Spent longer cleaning bits as I took them off than I did fitting it probably!
