So I did the gsx-r 00 swap this weekend and I can say it was pretty straight forward.
the battery box does need to be moved around quite a bit. which may bother a lot of people. I don't think I'll stick with this shock for that reason.
I also had to shave down my linkage so that it would clear both the spring and the way the linkage attaches at the bottom it didn't have full movement.
I chose this swap because it would raise the rear. the previous owner installed lowering dog bones. and it was also the cheapest of all the options I had from ordering on ebay.
here's some before and after pictures. and the 2 shocks side by side.
over all, I'm really happy with the improved handling ( since I was driving around with stock height front and a lowered rear)
