Played around with the little ninja today. Fitted up the gixxer shock. It’s not a bolt in swap but its close. The top mounting bolt on the kwaka is 12mm and the gsxr shock is 10mm. Some people try and drill the 10mm out to the 12mm to fit the frame mount. Thats a hack way to do it and would be near impossible. Made up some reducing top hat washers to take care of that. The bottom mount on the gsxr shock need to be widened 2.2mm. Stuck the shock in the mill and removed the required amount. The dog bones on the kwaka are 166mm, i wanted a bit more ride height so went 156mm. As the gsxr shock is slightly wider at the bottom you also need to space the dog bones out a little. 8mm worked out to be a good clearance. Could have used washers but thats not how i roll. Machined up 4 8mm spacers to suit. 2 either side. Longer bolts are also needed of course
