I think you mean the Abba stand, is it this one you're after?

Not sure about the shock, which sv have you got?

The zx636 c1h in my k2 lowered the bike a bit, the are lowering and raising plates or an aftermarket Penske shock with height adjustment (expensive).

Get an NWS stand instead - it's better.

another question here about forks, are gsxr 750 forks the same as the 600 or are they tougher? are the older gsxr forks much heavier than the newer ones? and if they are heavier does this mean they are stronger?
thanks

Can't fault the abba. I did the shock change on mine. However the NWS look even better and are the same price.
