Rear Shock
« on: 25 May 2012, 05:04:39 pm »
Hi to All
 
I've just put a post in the introduction section, so this is my second post.
 
The Fazer thou is a great bike until it hits a bump in teh road  :eek  Watch out in the high speed corners as well  :eek  They can start the bike wollowing and it can get VERY scary!!!
 
And now I have a sidecar attached to my Fazer thou, it's amplified the problem. So after trawling the forums and internet, I'm going the same route as many of the forum members and getting a R6 (13S) rear suspension unit. I'm actually picking one up tomorrow. My question is.... If the spring is still to weak, can I buy another stronger spring. And what length dog-bones will I need to keep the correct ride height?
 
Thanks for a great forum, it's going to provide many hours of good reading.
 
Have a good weekend everyone  :)

Hi Andrew & Dylan
I took the easy option and bought mine from Luke (devilsyam) on this forum if you PM him he will be able to sell you the correct length dog bones and spacers for the top mount. I got my shock today as a complete kit and took less than an hour to fit and the differance is amazing!
Cheers Allan

The spring is fine if you buy the dog bone kit from me as you have already got the shock i'll provide the set up for your weight and ride style
saving you the guessing lark
