Default Not shocks again !!!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...958208184&rd=1


Would the shock fit my naked k3 sv650 and how much should I pay for it ? And out of interest how much hassle would it be to fit the swingarm ? I only really want the shock but if it's not too bad who knows ?

Because it has the big Piggy back reservoir I don't think it will fit.

You need the newer one 2003/2004 +

Like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=7957964913

This bloke has sold 2 in the last week so keep an eye on him(?) he puts them up at £40 but it now or auction.

Probably more trouble than it's worth. However, you measure the distance between the frame spars, the shock offset, (the horizontal distance between the shock centreline and the pivot), and the spindle diameter, and I'll get the dimensions off my Kawasaki.

It sure does. Was cleaning it everyday but have lapsed the last few weeks. Even when i was at least rinsing the salt off everyday it was still choroding by morning so I got disheartened. Plus it sits at work for 11 hrs without a clean so rots then anyway. Will get on it though
