Has anyone tried fitting a 08 shock to a curvy as they appears to be diffrent to the <08 shocks?

That spring doesn't look like it has as much coils as my zx10r shock. Anyone got the spring rate?

I may have the bolt in my garage.

So has anyone used this type of shock on a curvy SV?

Going to get some quotes today for the fitting.

You got a torque wrench and a way to jack ya bike up NOT from the swingarm?

If yes, not too hard to do yourself

Do it yourself. I wouldn't trust any mechanic to do this type of modification work. I researched quite alot before doing mine.

I am still concerned about the spring rate, been trying to find it out but it seems its a secret :) You could run the risk of having a significantly softer shock than the curvy standard. Maybe you should call Kwakasaki themselves and see if they can tell you the spring rate.

But, if your a complete tool, you end up doing a worse job
