Ok, I have been on RaceTech's site and looking at the available shock springs, I see why there is a size difference. The 06-09 GSXR600-750 rear shock is a 40mm body, while the rest of the GSXR's (1000, early 600-750's) are all 46mm bodies. The pre-2000 GSXR shocks are 40mm, but the springs are markedly longer, so they are out... I am thinking that the best solution is to get a RaceTech new/used spring with the 8.5-8.9kg rating. That would give a spring that will be the right range for our Ninja's and rider weight 180... hehe if I gain 2-3 horsepower of the winter. (lose 10-15 lb.)
The number of the spring, if you are interested, is SRSP-5818085 or 089 fro the last three digits.
I will do some searching and see if I can come up with one reasonably priced.
