How did this fit?
Any cutting of the battery box?
New bolts etc?

I am thinking of this shock for my pointy! I know there may be some differences!

the shock was same length as the standard, everything was same really, the bottom isn't threaded on the kwak one but the standard one is, so you need a longer bolt and to put a nut on the end but cant be to long otherwise you cant re-fit the dog bones. battery box had to be cut out to fit round the reservoir and a smaller battery is also needed

I've read those in the know saying you shouldn't use any old bolt, it needs to be the proper bolt, designed for the bottom of the ZX10R shock. They are stronger or summat and a normal bolt will shear. Which might not be too nice if your hitting a bump mid-corner when it goes
