ZX6-R J1 shock fit SV?
Hi guys, the search button just isnt showing me what I want, although Im sure its here somewhere on the forum. I have a friend selling a 2001 (j1) ZX6R shock. The earliest info I can find on the zx6 shocks is only back to 2003, so I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this shock can easily be fitted to an 06 pointy, and whether or not the shock is on par with newer zx6/zx10 shocks in terms of performance and adjustability? Thanks guys

Re: More Shock Advise
The shock from the Kawasaki ZX6-Rs from G1-J1 have their reservoir facing straight backwards near horizontally, and thus won't fit into an SV without relocating the battery completely.

Re: ZX6-R J1 shock fit SV?
Yep thats what I think!
The only Kawasaki Shock that sort of works with a pointy is a 2006 zx10r shock. But as will always be pointed out a aftermarket built to suit will always be better Here is most the information on the swaps http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...ear+shock+swap
