Upgrade forks first, springs and emulators, cartridge kit or GSXR USD front end, followed by the rear shock at the same time or sooner.

Go with a Gixxer rear for the Pointy. If you want to try a ZX shock, there's one sat in the shed doing nothing muck

Common thought is to use linear springs & oil matched to your weight
