Re: Rear shock for curvy?
The one you have linked is a GSXR shock and the spring rate is softer than the standard curvy.
ZX10r shock do fit as long as it isn't the 08 one.

Re: Rear shock for curvy?
I had a Zx6 rear on mine, then fitted a ZX10R. Makes one heck of a difference. Gixxer ones normally go on pointies.

Re: Rear shock for curvy?
you can take that top mounting off, its just a bolt holding it in. I'm sure someone here can confirm that

Re: Rear shock for curvy?
08 ZX10R shock spring is softer than standard curvy according to those that have fitted one and is in fact too soft by their experience. Documented on this forum....
