Have a look at this table - differences should be spring rate (in lbs) and length.

http://forum.svrider.com/index.php?P...opic=48973.210 It's where the table originates from. Also talks about rider's weights and the sort of spring rates that you should be looking at. It is a 17 page monster, but I'm sure you'll find everything you need!

Cheers for that, I`ve got a 04 naked, So the 03-04 gsxr 1000 shock would be the best option. There is a bit of modification to fit the shock, which I`ve read about
