I just acquired an R6 shock and want to use it on my wife's track bike. Any spring, link recommendations for a 150lb. rider? Stock swing arm, SV650 wheels

do a web search for Penske shocks. They list the MZ and recommended springs weights/ riders weight.

Finally got around to installing the shock! Fit in fine with toolbox thingy removed. Wound up making new links [initially out of steel] with the rear wheel suspended/ bike blocked up at original ride height. Used R6 spring and road test reveals supple ride, good damping. Will leave as is for the time being.
