From what I have reseached it will fit the SV, and is the closets fit. Though the bolt will be a bit wide and will need to be shaved off a bit. Also athough the shock is very close to the correct lenght, the spring is under sprung for the SV and if you over 13/14 stone or carry pillions alot then you may find it a bit wallowy. Though this is just what I have read.
Thats why I went with the ZX636 the spring is 3/4 of a inch longer, but the spring rate is almost the same (if not a little more). And I've had a inch or so taken out of the seat so the height should not be a problem, though I could just change the dog bones.

i would say that that isnt a srad shock if you look the the left of the picture there is a bolt for a mounting point and this should be a fork

ie somthing fits between then you clamp the bolt through it

so i`d say no it`s not the right one

ignore all that crap

lol

it has the fork its to the right however the bolt should be a stub that a bolt can go through and not a bolt like it has

and the answer is still no it wont fit

I was under the impression that the GSXR 600 or 750 SRADS are the ones to look for 96-99 models. Which look like that one..

Yes its an SRAD shock, I've the same one fitted to my bike.

Yes it'll fit, you have to remove the height adjuster from the top, and rotate the bottom 180' so you don't need to grind down the bolt.

on my 5th one now, so I've a fair idea

Cheers Mark.

Either mine had all this done or this is not required - I only had to grind the battery holder from the petrol tank.

As I had to fix the gear lever I had a detailed look at my shock. Mine does not have the top part and it has a threaded bottom which takes the original SV bolt.

So either the SRAD 600 and 750 shocks are slightly different or Suzuki revised the shock in one of the years.

The one without the top is obviously the one to go for (if beggers can be choosers) as it requires no grinding. It is in fact, an exact replacement.
