Is this a straight exchange (easy switch) or are their mods involved? Thanx, Rob

I have done this for the 05 z1000 redzed.proboards.com

I would work on the general principle that the more recent (newer) the shock is, it is generally better,... continuous improvement and all

You need a garage with an overhead beam, them some ratchet straps to take the weight off the rear of the bike, a second person is a must.
