Ignore him, the curvy has the expensive frame the pointy has the cheap mass produced one. He's just jealous.

In terms of shocks. I recently bought a ZX10 shock, but am yet to fit it.

I did however, with the help of Spiers, change my knackered standard curvy shock for a similar but far lower mileage equivalent. The difference was immense.

It was much firmer then even the old one before it started to leak...

Looking forward to finally fitting the ZX-10 shock to hopefully see yet further improvements. :D

I like my hagon currently, it's better than any OE shock I've had, that includes the brand new one I got off fleabay a few years back.

Binky. I've just fitted my 05 zx6r shock, which I'm lead to believe are the same, or similar. I'm sure we weigh about the same so when you've done all the hard work and sorted out the compression and rebound settings etc can you let me know what they are:smt003

More personal preference isn't it and what you feel comfortable with as a rider?

Plus you probably know as much as me anyway.

Cheers guys, will get the low mileage original SV shock in, then maybe save up for a GSXR front end and rear shock. Any thoughts on how much a complete GSXR front might cost? Or do I need to start hanging around bike cafes with my swiss army knife, hope no-one notices me fiddling with their forks? Ooer mrs...
