« on: 09 May 2017, 07:45:48 pm »
As in title a mate just bought a 2004 fazer6 600 & as he is quite short it needs lowering.
It is the model where the shock connects straight to the swingarm .

Any ideas info please lads.

Get a taller mate ??


Seriously though, either buy a custom built (shorter) shock from somewhere like Hagon or get the seat modified (lowered) but that would make it less comfortable.
I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.

I have a replacement for the section at the bottom of the shock which is (I think) 25mm shorter than the standard version.

I bought it a few years ago to lower my FZ6, but never got around to fitting it, so I could let you have it if you want.

Drop me a PM if you're interested.
