Look I am not trying to re-invent the wheel here. I Google searched and read every article I could find before doing this. I am trying to answer questions I had while doing this project. I found many conflicting statements, which may have been caused between this project being done on the different generations of bikes. All I am trying to do is answer questions I had while doing this and help the next guy do it.

I just measured the uncompressed shocks and they are within 3mm of each other in eye to eye length. The '07 GSXR shock was at 317mm and the stocker is at 320mm. This is in contrast to the many articles I have read which showed the GSXR shock as small as 312mm to as large as 320mm and the stocker at 317mm. This small of a difference is hardly worth fabing new dogbones over.
