Which GSXR shock for my Curvy?
 

Could anybody tell me which year gsxr shock will fit my k1 sv650? Also can the spring be replaced on the gsxr shock? Or is it non servicable? Also is the gsxr shock a straight bolt in?

Im looking for a shock to suit my weight (21 stone) without spending a fortune,

Cheers

I could be wrong but at 21 stone you might be best with the Busa shock highlighted above.

Ok spring but too short IMO.
Will be an improvement anyway.

If you could spring for an aftermarket one that'd be best.


You can replace springs on GSXR shock. SRAD is best length though a spring so much heavier will throw the damping all to c*ck.

You could revalve too.

Throw a ZX10 shock on it, couple of nips & tucks & its on :)

Would agree for someone up to 15st or so, but the OP says he is 21st. The best option really without going for an aftermarket shock is the 'Busa one mentioned above.

IMHO the OP should consider something like a Hagon replacement shock sprung for his weight. It will cost more than a second hand one but will be built for the job of supporting his 21st, so will probably do a better job.
