Default Gixer 600 Rear shock

Firstly I am unsure of the model its comming off so with this in mind......... how easy are they to fit on a curvy? The spring has been shimmed down to fit, apparently

I'd find out which model GSXR it is cause only the SRAD shocks fit with a bit of trimming to the battery box but I might be wrong!!!

Why you fitting a Gixer shock to a curvy anyway?? Was the stock one too stiff?

I'd sooner have a SRAD shock than standard, despite being softer sprung. Though I'd rather have a current-model 636 one than either.

+1 on the 636 shock. Best option for a cheap swap for a curvy.
