Yeah. As it says in the wiki, on pablo's page, and on about 10K posts here.

On Pablo's page it says it's a direct bolt in/no modifications...

Ok, well, I can think of at least 3 threads in the last 3 months that have discussed it NOT being bolt in. At least you got it done. Have a shop drill it, or do it yourself?

Oh it's all good, I had a drill press handy... the sv shock is way better than the oem shock.

Just a warning that converting to a twin disc front end ISN'T a direct bolt on either.

Good to hear that you did manage to get it on.

When I put the rear shock off a Kwaka 600 it took a little bit of work, but was deffinatly worth it.  :thumb:
