it looks like unless you are going to respiring the shocks the curvy is pretty much stuffed as far as spring rate goes

you need a spring rate of 12.kg/mm the zx6 shocks that are the right length are only 9.7 or 9.2kg/mm (the curvy is stock 9.2kgmm) the zx10r 04/05 shock is 10.2kg/mm and 1mm longer than stock curvy but still 2kg/mm to soft


Obviously the shocks are better than the stock unit so you might get away with the zx10 shock


the only shocks i would consider for the curvy are the zx6r 07 shock 340mm length with 9.2kg/mm (the one Andrew suggests is not long enough) and the 04/05 zx10r shock 338mm
