So do you need to make up an adapter for the shock like you do with a cbr 929 one, or is it the same length as a standard 5th gen shock?

How doesย  the spring rate compare to standard?

Keep us updated on progress and results!

I don't recall seeing a post with a 7th gen to 5th shock swap. You may the innovator on it.ย

What brand headers are those?ย  They don't appear to be the VFRD headers that were done last year.ย

So how did you go with the install?ย  Re the S/S headers, did you have any issues?

Duck - Duck- Go!ย ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€ How was the test ride?

The ride is vastly improved. Bikes lighter and feels even more aturdy (if even possible) bike sits a little lower and is better with the new additions
