Hey all, can anyone tell me if the rear shock rom a 03-06 sv650s will fit a 99 curvy without any mods or chopping about? What are the advantages (if any) of using this shock over the standard curvy shock? Only asking as I have the chance to buy a NOS 04 shock complete in its packing for peanuts, it appears to have some kind of valve on a reservoir ... is that an air valve? If so.. I assume it's adjustable?
It also has a small (flat blade) adjuster too, would that be for damping or rebound or ???.
