For ease replacement shock from hagon etc but not cheap
or gixxer unit minor cutting to get the unit to fit on flea bay from 20 quid but budget for rebuild

kawa zx6 or 10 shocks, but a bit of modding is req'ed

the right year zx10r requires no modding to the pointy's as the reservoir is mounted perpendicular to the shock thus no modding to battery box required.

i think its 2007 model which is the one (gold with red spring) have one for sale but just sold it, will let you know if your interested if the sale falls through.

this is one i had fitted to my bike

I had a ZX10r shock on my SV650 k6. I have now sold the bike so it is up for grabs on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KAWASAKI-ZX10R...#ht_500wt_1154
