![]() ![]() Hagon are cheaper but frankly, for a reason, they're not as good and the combined damping adjustment's not ideal. I'd rather buy better and used, myself. Also be very wary of buying a shock that needs a full service... I have a WP which I got for £50, but it needs a full rebuild, and that's not cheap at all. It'll still be an good buy if I decide to use it but it's not the immense bargain it seems at £50, the real world cost is going to be more like £200. I really like the zx10R shock for the curvy, it's a solid upgrade and very cheap. Is it as good as an Ohlins or Penske? No. But then it costs less than the box an Ohlins comes in ![]()

Is there a difference between the ZX6R and ZX10R shock?
It may be academic as i know someone who may have an ohlins shock for me, but i want to keep my options open. |

Too true! I have always been a fan of BT020's and if they make them for the SV will use them. If not then i guess some ME6's or Diablo's.

Dunno, it's just simpler- I believe all the ZX10R shocks work, while some 636 ones don't
![]() Oh yeah, they do 020s in 120/60 and 160/60 but the Roadtecs and Stradas do the same job, but better. I've got an 020 on the rear at the moment (came with a wheel I bought) and I've been pleasantly surprised by it, considering what an old design it is- when they were first out they must have seemed like black magic. But better tackle's come along now, the Roadtec's grippier and lasts longer.

Would a standard 2004 gsxr 1000 shock fit a 2001 sv?

No, I think it's too short.

Yeah, I think it'll physically fit- if memory serves that's what we put in Matttheloony's bike- but he lost a bit of ride height and the install was, frankly, a bit rough. Better options out there...
