Rear Shock Upgrade,
Had a look through the archives and seen that the ZX636 rear shock slips straight into the curvey, but what about the pointy.
I've got a K5 SVS and is there a rear shock that would be a direct replacement for my stock unit. If not a direct swap, which shock would be best for a sturdy biker (about 16 stone I bet with all my kit and helmet on ) |

Im in the same boat mate except mines a K4, but not a whole lotta difference. But most the people as you say seem to be curvey owners. I may just bite the bullet this weekend and let you know how I get on.

Hi,
Shameless plug but I'm selling my ZX636 shock. I'm not sure about the pointy but if you find that it will fit and need one drop me a PM. Thanks, Andy |

so the K5 gixxer thou unit looks right,
How hard is it to fit? Is it just the battery trimming like most other units? Cheers |

Yep a bit of battery tray trimming all you need. On my curvy getting the bottom bolt to fit was a bit of a sod, nothing a few washers didn't sort mind Do you have access to a ABBA type stand? |

This looks like a good bet, I assume the K5 and K6 GSXR's are the same.

List isn't mine - It has been shamelessly poached from SV friends across the pond.
