Rear Shock for Classic Triples

I dropped a rear shock from a 1994 Kawasaki ZX7 into my 1996 Adventurer with no mods required at all. The upper bolt bushing was the same size, the bottom clevis width and hole diameters matched the Triumph unit exactly, and the top bolt bushing is also the same width as the Triumph unit. The ZX7 shock has no external reservoir to deal with, is fully rebuildable, and has adjustable rebound damping. The shock is 1/2" longer than the OEM Triumph shock, so the rear of the bike is raised slightly. The spring rate on the ZX7 shock was perfect for my Adventurer and the ride is much more plush.
Mine cost less than $25 including shipping. How can you beat that??
