Upgraded rear shock.. - SV650.org

What shocks are on ebay at the moment which would be a direct fit upgrade on the factory shock.. ideally in the UK and under £100

ZZR1400 I have one on mine and it's great

Bit tatty looking aren't they.. Is that kind of what to expect?

Seconded as Dougie, great shock for the larger lads and direct swap with kawa lower bolt and a few washers to shim it snug on pointies

What about for lighter lads?

Think zx6r and zx10r shocks also fit as well as older gsxrs and they are not as heavily sprung as the zzr1400. I'm sure someone did a table of bikes with comparable parts?!

keep saving. you can get a new yss shock for £290 delivered to your door.

Ok I'm going with your recommendation Bibio.. you seem to know your stuff. I managed to find a YSS one on ebay for £265, delivered... so with that, coupled with the new linear springs and 10w silkolene oil I've ordered.. I'm really hoping to have a smoother rider.. also intend to do the TPS mod, which i guess will reduce the jerkiness.

when you order it remember to tell them what weight you are so they put the correct spring rate on.
