For the first gen none of the common swaps are very good. The ZX shocks are the best of a bad lot. There's a sticky in the suspension section of the FAQ that has spring rate and length info for a number of shocks.

You going to make it to the spring rally in Jasper??

I will try my best to be there and I promise to try and not crash again.

Isn't the ZX14 shock the same length as stock for gen2?

With something like the Penske shock or any shock with an adjusting ring you can set ride height anywhere you want within the shock's travel. Ride height is also affected by spring rate and gas pressure in the shock. You won't believe the difference in ride and grip when a talented suspension person sets up your bike.
