My advice, should you wish to take it, would be to wait for a GSX-R shock. I belive that the 6R shock will fit in theory, as in the linkages top and bottom will accomodate it. However, I can see that external resevior causing you a major headache when cutting the battery tray to make it fit.

That's the wrong model zx6 shock to fit to an SV. You want a later ZX^ shock with the resevoir mounted transversely across the shock. This is haow the SRAD shock also has its resevoir. Both a GSXR and a ZX6 shock will require some cutting to the battery box, and the tank mounting. You will also need to shift the battery up a little.
The only shocks that are a straight bolt on replacement for the SV are things like ohlins WP etc. |

Hundreds of people have put SRAD shocks into the SV and not regretted it though.
