Any alternative?
Hagon Shock or something very expensive with a remote reservoir. Even a Hagon is over £200. A GSXR or ZXR shock is about £40-50.

A hagon is an emulsion type shock, not in the same league.

ZX6R B1H

so that is the 2003/4 one... is the 04-07 ZX10R 338mm 540# the same? (easy to fit etc)

are the later 05 onwards no good for a curvy sv650s (with me on)? only asking as there are buckets full of them on evil bay :smt017

(i'm a fairly standard height of 5'7 at 11st)

Cheers

Yes, virtually identical to the ZX6 B1H shock. I fitted one to my curvy - it was so much better than stock. Easy to fit, small cut to battery box for the reservoir and then raise battery on a foam block so it is not rubbing on the shock.

sweet, thanks :D (logs on to e bay)

does sound easier to fit, have you got any pics of your crafty work? cheers!

oh, you can see my rear shock giving up at 1:58 (mind you it is 10 years old with 30k on it)

No pics, but I seem to remember that Mister C did a photo step by step guide last year, try a search.


Edit: here it is... http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=113667 (fitting a ZX6R shock but the ZX10 is fitted the same way)

eeer, I assume that a zx6r 05 onwards shock won't fit a curvy (as its not on the list)
