For pointy's.
The gsxr shock has an alloy u bracket at the top that connects it to a vertical mounting bolt. The bolt that goes through the eye at the top of the shock holding this bracket on is required to connect it to the sv suspension.
You can buy it seperate but try and get it with the shock you buy.
The shock swap itself is as simple as removing the old shock; 2 bolts.
Cutting the right amount out of the battery box is a little trial and error so you have to dismantle the tail piece a bit. I then put a couple of layers of 12mm ply wood in the bottom of the battery box with cutouts in them to keep the battery clear of the shock reservoir.
On the k3 the seat base doesnt hit the battery but youmight need to cut a square hole inte seat base for the later pointys
