Pre-gen is 440-lb/in, new-gen/300 is 475-lb/in.
The new-gen/300 shock is slightly longer at 320mm.
For bolt-on shocks, check out my thread with measurements here:

Another bolt-on 320mm shock is this one (ignore photo, it actually has clevis lower mount: https://www.progressivesuspension.co...shock-kawasaki
There is also SV650 and GSX-R shock retrofits, but requires machining of frame and shock to fit (in some cases, cutting fender & battery box). More involved that just swapping clevis on shock you already bought.

Hi Danno. So the first problem I'm trying to solve is to give me a little more height on my bike. I'm 6'1 and a whole 250 lbs. The shock that was on my bike no long had a good compression. The bike would sag under its own weight. That is mainly the problem I'm trying to solve. However the shocks I purchased seem to be giving me couple of problems. I don't know how to measure for the clevis adapter and secondly I think this rfy shock will bottom out on the swing arm.
