Absolutely.

When I did 400, shock was way too stiff
As I said earlier, I had to extend swing arm mounting up and back. (moving bolt closer to tyre)
You don't need or want a 'straight' push, a longer 'loop' holding shock with revised mounting may be required.

So getting an uprated shock is a big mistake!!!
Might let the missus know before she buys it as an Xmas pressie.
Any thoughts on the affects of an USD front end too? Seems like the front might be way over sprung too considering the GSXR 750 is a 200kg bike. Should be able to dial back some preload but I think spring change all round might be in order.
