is this rear shock any good for my GS?

just a post to see if this shock is worth getting or if it will fit my GS

i'm tempted to buy it but want to know if it will fit

This gs500 has a gixer6 k6 rear shock

It won't be a straight swap though. You will need to grind and chop a bit

i think il give that one a miss due to needing a home made dog bone(s)

You don't have to make them yourself.There are commercially available lowering dog bones.

Also you might want and additional inch in ride height.  I raised my bike this way and it fits my body better.

i wanted to go for the R6 shock but cant find one for a reasonable price

so is any gsxr 600/750 shock pretty much the same from k1 to k6?

im just looking at my options when searching on ebay uk for a shock upgrade
