The tail with the stock shock has ~87/88cm , with the gsxr k6 shock has ~85cm , so the difference is about ~2cm ... Already ordered a jack up kit from ebay , that is suposed to give 3cm on tail height !
here is a picture of both shocks side by side:
gsxr shock is about 1.5cm shorter than the SV shock it has about 32cm from bolt to bolt , SV 33+cm from bolt to bolt , but im not sure if the preload has any effect on the shock length , so this measures can be a Little off !
I read your other tread regarding the bolts , and on my shock there is about 3mm clearance between the dog bones using the upper gsxr bolt, im going to grin the bolt just litle to avoid future problems, i believe you have a curvy SV , but the linkage system must be the same !
Now i have another problem
unlike other gsxr shock when you have to cut the battery box , on the k6 shock it looks like have to cut the tool box away , on this shock the reservoir make on 90º angle , unlike other shocks i have seen that have an upsweept reservoir
The bike with the tool box cut off will look very ugly
here is the picture:
I was unable to find loctite to use on the bolt's , how important is the use of a tread-lock ??
PS: +19º degrees here :P lowest temp i remember was +8º degrees and that was very very cold !
