Title: 1000 shock on 600
Post by: Graham53 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 ???

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

its the geometry of the mono shock rates that  are different i put my 600 spring on mine and it works well mine is a 99 30k on the clocks
