GSXR rear shock on my 2nd Gen

Installed a 2007 GSXR rear shock on my 2004 SV650N. Required a bit of modification but overall cost about $50 CAD. OEM shock lost its seal and I was quite frustrated that it wasn’t serviceable so I figured I’d upgrade. Had to remove and cut out the original tool kit and add threads to the GSXR shock but otherwise it was straightforward.

Really happy with how it feels, feels like a new bike.

I know it needs a wash doing that this weekend.
