I suppose you could change the position of the forks in the triple clamp to compensate...

You want to try the GSXR 1k shock?
What did you not like about it? I may take it off your hands, I was going to msg you about it anyway. Is there a ratio of how much it lowers the bike by when you adjust the rear? Like if i bolt it on, does it lower the rear more than 10mm?

It just brings the rear end down too much for my tastes (about the same 10mm). That's the only thing I don't like about it.

i'll poke around and call SVraceshop this week and see if they are still respringing. They gave me the option last time to keep the gsxr shock at stock length or make it longer to match the SV. Though I would love some more reach to the ground, I have been managing so far.

I woke up at 4am with ants in hair last night so me and Puggy are staying elsewhere! Can you believe it?
