Yeah but there is the same problem with using ZX-10 or ZX-6 shocks, but there is a suzuki (?) part number on here for a shock bolt that does the trick. I'm sure it will work for 'busa shock. I'm too lazy to do the search myself

Can you grab an extra one and I'll give you the cash for it? Please ol buddy ol pal

Shouldn't take long to swap it out. Undo linkage, undo bottom shock bolt, put new one in, redo the linkage. Ohh it sounds so simple.

We put a GSXR shock into Matttheloony's curvy, and used a Busa bottom bolt- just ground it down to size. Not ideal as the bolt's heat treated, but it works.

Re. heat treating and grinding, do it in small stages and cool it down in between.

For SRAD shock I can't remember what bolt, but you turn the bottom of the shock around t'other way so it doesn't foul the linkage.
