yes the post is very old but i think its important that you mention the zx shock is shorter than the oem shock and lowers the ride height at the rear of the bike. this has an effect on both the bikes steering geometry and cornering clearance. i don't know if you are a shorter rider and want to lower the seat height? a person may not want to swap out to a zx shock for the reasons mentioned above.
