Re: How To fit a ZX6 Shock on a Curvy (With Pics)
Any one fitted one of these to a pointy? Are the fittings similar between Curvy and pointy models?
Cheers folks

Curvy shock needs to be much longer and stiffer, like 355mm and 600lbs/in spring where pointy needs more like 340mm and 450lbs/in. Which makes common ZX6 shocks used for curvy not much good. However one of later ZX6Rs shocks, possibly 07 onwards, silver with goldy coloured spring IIRC has spot on length and pretty good spring. (N.B this is good for handling, if you are short then go get put on a rack or something, I don't care about you falling over...)

Re: How To fit a ZX6 Shock on a Curvy (With Pics)
Cheers for that Chris, I was offered a good condition ZX6R shock at a cheap price. I shall let it slide now though due to it being the same one as in the opening shots of this thread.
