I would like to keep shocks around 300 bucks. I'm thinking I can get something usable for that price.
Looking for a little bit of both, high speed is kinda out of the picture until the stocker 650 motor gets worked this winter.
But let's just say I'm looking too, "stabily corner, at high speeds.".... Eh? Eh?
I've been chatting with Todd Attebery from Z1works and he has been filling me in on some of his trial and error findings over the years... Biggest one being forks. He has found that the 07-08 ZX6r forks are actually 2 inches longer than the 05-06 forks that I have... (Just my luck...)
So going back to what you said about ride height! I will be either... Buying 07-08 forks (if I can locate a pair), turning some internal fork extensions on the lathe (shit ton of work/time), or buying fork extensions from a company I found on the web (400 bucks... Knife threw the heart)... Hopefully this will keep my rake and trail at bay. And allow me more rear shock options
I will be looking into that book, sounds like an awesome read for any motorbike enthusiast!
