Re: ZX10 Shock on a Curvy
That spring doesn't look like it has as much coils as my zx10r shock. Anyone got the spring rate?

Re: ZX10 Shock on a Curvy
So has anyone used this type of shock on a curvy SV?
Going to get some quotes today for the fitting. |

Re: ZX10 Shock on a Curvy
Do it yourself. I wouldn't trust any mechanic to do this type of modification work. I researched quite alot before doing mine.
I am still concerned about the spring rate, been trying to find it out but it seems its a secret  You could run the risk of having a significantly softer shock than the curvy standard. Maybe you should call Kwakasaki themselves and see if they can tell you the spring rate.
