Early Busa or K5 Gixer shock needed

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Title says it all I reckon. I'm wanting to slip an early Busa or K5 gixer thou, (I think) shock into the old B12. Length of shock is 300mm but importantly the spring has to be no wider than 80mm or it won't fit through the swinger. I'm thinking 9.5kg rated spring for my fat arse but with the linkage that could be all bullshit. Advice and offers greatly received.

i think the gixxer/busa shock is 82mm OD from memory, zx10 items are 72mm OD from memory. but busa and k1-k6 gsxr 1000 shocks are 325mm ete, zx10 items are 335 ete. both share same clevis/top mount diemensions.

i have a gsxr 600 shock here, but only has a 8.5 spring on it atm, i'll have an oem 9.25 spring for it in the next couple of weeks, yours for $70 inc when the spring gets here.
same dimensions as the k5 gsxr 10000 shock, but length is 317 ete.

i also have a k7 1000 (electronic) OEM damper here, yours for the cost of postage. dont know how to drive the solenoid, i read somewhere you need to apply 5v to it to get it to switch on..

cheers.joe.
