SV Spring!!??

Okay, got a 3rd shock. The 06-09? already mounted the 00-03 that won't fit and another 06-07ish(just like the 1st but w Schrader valve instead of needle hole. Paper weights/kayak anchors?? Well took the spring from stock SV shock as that got a ZX10 in '16. It fit over GSXR body fine and is very close in length. Filed the straight section of adjuster nut that fits in spring to a taper and used die grinder to cut away spring material so it would fit. On the clevis end I cut the tube section off the spring 1/2 moon retainer as it wouldn't fit in smaller ID spring. Not together completely so may add zerks to lever. Many months b4 riding season but at least we'll see how it sags.
