R6 Rear Shock
« on: 29 November 2014, 07:47:03 pm »
I have just replaced my old standard rear shock with an R6 unit supplied from Kebab19. It has been one of the easiest mods I have done, remember to fully clean and check over the suspension linkage, mind all the roller bearings, re grease and replace any worn bearings. I would say the entire job took no longer than 2 hours. All as I need now is more bend on my knee as I have had a full replacement joint, maybe this will save on a knee slider as I am reliably informed it is titanium. :rollin

I'm liking this a fair bit.
May I ask as to what model R6 the shock came from or does that not matter?

There's a thread not so very far down the page detailing what shock is required. Nothing pre 2005 will fit, that's for sure and unlikely that 2006-07 shock can fit easily.   

... and not long now till I reveal my next FZS suspension mod  :D

No, go ahead - it won't be a cheap mod.
But it will be one of the best  ;)

Ummm... actually, no USDs this time round :eek
Perhaps I have underestimated the overwhelming desire for gold, blingy things attached to the front of bikes  :lol

I believe the two adjusters, Gold and blue,  should be together. Look at the photo at the top of the page. But I'd also away the more knowledgeable to chime in.
