1000 shock on 600
« on: 28 February 2017, 01:41:46 pm »
seeing as no one wanted my 1000 shock that was laying around after converting my Gen1 to R6 I was sure I'd read somewhere that it might fit my 600 foxy ??
I've done a post search and can't find anything so does anyone know did I dream it or is it possible ,if so how much aggro or shall I just put it on flea bay and hope it sells ???

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

Thanks Celticdog and daviee,
I think I might give it a go when the weather warmer , it's surprising that you have to change the spring from 1000 to 600 but my 600 has only done 22k so hopefully the spring will be ok.
Thanks for the help
