Hi guy,
Has any of you tried to fit a ZX6R rear shock? Will it fit and is it any good?
Thanks,
Roy

Re: ZX6R rear shock
We also have a zx6r shock in one of our bikes. We had it re sprung by Maxton (about £70) as it was too stiff. We also had to cut away a bit of the battery tray, but we use a smaller NC30 battery anyway, so this has no negative effects.

Re: ZX6R rear shock
Sounds good guys, thanks for the info. Maybe it's also an option to fit a H model link to make it a bit softer..
