Hi,
All k serie`s shocks will fit,some are a straight fit(k9) others need a small mod on the lower arm(Gavsta did a step by step).look at my posts or do a search.
Simple job though....

Modern shocks are using new technology.

If you want a little more info look at the ohlins website as it lists shock lengths for comparison.
There are some differences in shock lengths, think the earlier k2/3 etc are very long, think the 08 is best and even newer have a different lower fitment.

ALL K series GSXR shocks will fit, ie: 2001 onwards. Some are direct but some require linkage modification.
