Also the 2000 ZX9's have a ride height adjuster on the top shock mount as a stock fitting. Should be interchangeable for the ZX6.

You don't have to make any mechanical adjustments at all if it is only the look you are after, just get a german style tail that bends up at the back.

Yeh thats a good point! If ur gonna do something radical like a german style tail u may not need to worry bout it coz doin all that will change the geometry & therefore the handling of the bike, so dont go too nuts!

agree with the handling issue, if you can find a way to make your subframe adjustable, then you need not touch your suspension settings at all. I ended up building a whole new sub which is adjustable via tunbuckles under the seat.
good luck.
