Are you trying to lower the bike and reduce the spring rate (are you short and very light)? Even if this is the case there are better quality, more adjustable units available - 01/02 GSXR 1K for example.
Have a look down the chart -decide if you need a taller or shorter shock, heavier or lighter spring rate and select something close that didn't start life on an SV650. Any other option on there can be had for little money. Maybe the only exception would be if you were so happy with the stock unit you didn't want to change, and you could find a newer one from the same series (curvy or pointy) for nearly free.
I paid I think £50 for my ZX6RR shock - maybe a bit higher than some of the GSXR units -but it was by far the best option for me, and they're a bit rarer than GSXR units etc.
