Default New Suspension Bought

Got this off flea bay for £30 quite pleased with that lol. Come off a low mileage SV 2003 as some of ya may know i ride a 2001! Wahey d1ckhead of the week goes to me already lol. Is there an off chance it will fit mine? Looks like it is adjustable. Not thinkin about fitting it straight away but the old one is looking a bit rusty TBH. Pics are below:

Thoughts please.

Cheers

It's a standard Pointy shock so not adjustable.
Length is 7mm shorter than a curvy shock and the spring rate is a lot lower due to different linkage .

I'll sell it on to somebody with a pointy that might want a low milage OE shock. What's the milage anyhoo.

It does say in the description, that it fits 2003 and up. Silly Boy.

Has got the linkage with it. Some people might well want that on it's own if the bearings are in good condition.

I dont want the linkage, I just want the shock.

The linkage is the curvey bit thats a bit duller than the rest of the shock I think...

I really dont need the linkage, I'm rubbish and it'll just sit in my garage and I wont do anything with it. You keep the linkage if you want to sell it seperately.
