Title: R6 shock mod (again!)
Post by: Johnnylad123 on 24 September 2016, 04:43:19 pm

Hi, if I was going down the route of swapping out the shock on my Gen 1 what year of R6 shock would I need?

or you could always just change the spring on your old shock (£40), and get it regassed (£70-90).

from experience the R6 unit overheats on track too quickly (40mm chamber vs 46mm)

Cheers for that everyone.
