The R6 seems to have been adopted the most Radman..you must have the tuneing fork lower link to be fitted with one of Kaylas adapters...just type r6 shock into the [SEARCH] tool bar at the top of the page...you will be so enlightened my son

I have an 04/05 (I think) ZX10 rear shock... just need to drill out one of the lower holes to 12mm, no Kayla adapter required. Bear in mind that this shock is shorter than standard so will lower the rear end... shorter dog bones will solve this! :wink:

The R6 shock + adapter is the more common mod though so it's up to you really.

Hope this helps. :D

*edit: 2001 GSXR1000 also fits :wink:
