Not the same old question, GSX-R OR Hayabusa?

Ive been reading reading reading...head hurts now but, one thing I still haven't seen, anyone comparing the gsxr vs the Hayabusa shocks. Is one better than the other for my application?

G2 B12,   
want a little better/softer ride,
want same or slightly lower ride(busa is longer so i would add lowering links),
no front fork modifications,
pods and HS stage 2,
rider weight with luggage 170-200lb,
want cheap also, ($50 hayabusa on ebay is reasonably cheap to me)

The Bus shock is better than the OE piece, but is not likely to give you a softer ride than the stocker.  As for the GSXR, you'll have to look into the lengths and mounting eyes to see if they're compatible.  The GSXR will probably have a lighter weight spring than the Bus since they're lighter machines, so that may give you a softer ride.

Busa shock on my Bandit. Love it.
