Rear shock

[nsr500v4]

Can anyone accurately measure the width of the top of the standard shock so i can get washers made of before fitting the BMW S1000 shock please?

[bludclot]

34.92mm to 35.02mm depending upon which angle i measure across the faces of the bush. it's probably worn unevenly in use.

Cheers Bludclot, i will get the new washers made up now 

[unfazed]

I made up two washers 2.65 mm thick 12mm hole in centre

[bludclot]

i am in need of 2 appropriate washers, any chance one of you can make up / obtain a pair for me please? funds can change hands in return obviously.

i should be able to make up a couple of sets in work next week if you dont mind waiting bludclot? I wont charge you anything, wont cost me much to pop a pair in an envelope.

Anyone got any idea what the od of the washer should be roughly? just dont want them to have too-big a diameter obviously, and im too lazy to strip out my shock to measure it

I'll be taking my shock off tomorrow evening.i'll post the sizes then...anything else while ive got it off ?

[mickvp]

12mm ID, 2.65mm width, just need OD red

[red98]

Ok...will post tomorrow 

[red98]

Shocks off.do you want the od of the washer on the top mount ?

[red98]

or the metal sleeve that passes through the top of the shock....

[unfazed]

25mm OD will be fine

[mickvp]

aye. anywhere between 23-25mm will be ok then

Cheers Red, your a star mate.
