The ER6N rear shock works and is a good option for lowering the bike a couple inches. A 2014-2019 zx10r rear shock is almost the same length and the rate is also just about right. Also needs no spacers.

I think I will cancel the one I ordered. There is one very much like it but is a 295mm, and from what I gather that would be too short. I also was a liy worried that raising the rear some with a 330mm may put more weight on the front forks. Would slightly lowering the rear take any stress off the front forks ? I realize that the shocks you suggest are Ninja shocks. I had post on the Facebook sight asking for shock recommendations and they said Ninja 650, but the guy was only 160 lbs, and not real tall if I remember right. I don't want my bike to be much lower, but a little lower would be ok.
