WTB: ZX14 Rear Shock

Particle Man · 05-19-2010, 11:03 AM

I just scored an 09 GSXR1k rear shock but I have a feeling it will be too short and undersprung so I'd like to get a jump on gettting the "proper" shock for my setup and a ZX14 rear shock would do nicely.

Anyone have one?

Thought it was a ZX10 shock that fit proper, or are they the same?

Over at SVrider they have a whole section with the shock swap info for the sv's.
NMight have to search for it but its there.

Got a buddy that just totalled an 06 zx10. If you want, I can check on it. Have you done your front springs yet?

I think they both fit fine. Different spring rates is all

ZX10 doesn't have high enough spring rate for my fat ass and riding 2 up - the 14 is a better fit for me with my weight.

All years of the 14R fit the SV

There are no 14R shocks available on SVR I checked

Don't know where you could look. Maybe a drag forum? I'm sure they don't swap shocks out on those bikes as often as we do.

I think I grabbed one from e-bay - will find out in a bit.

Cool

Here's another guy who's done it (weighs about the same as I do and uses his SV for basically the same thing I do). mg66 on SVR:
