there are loads of topics on using the r6 shock using a couple of tophats and new doglegssearch r6 shock in the foc-u search bar and they will pop up
There are always top spec options too like nitron (recommended) or ohlins or hyperpro.
Thanks for the honest opinion Which one would you choose if you could, between Nitron, Hyperpro and Ohlins?They're all similarly priced (around 450GBP-550€).Only with Nitron I can choose spring weight, and it's the only shock that has compression and rebound setting together.
It would be nice to hear from riders with the R6 shock and have their opinions.If the R6 route works for you you can save a fortuneCome on R6 brigade lets know your experiences.
Thought I had read recently on here that some have been really disappointed with their R6 conversion, and, if my memory serves me well some have gone back to the original Yamaha shock.I went the Nitron route and am very pleased with that but it's premium price you will not get any change from 450 quid.If the R6 shock is so good why are there so many almost new ones up for sale, it seems folk are removing them and fitting something better because they are not satisfied with the R6 performance.

It won't fit.See Devilsyam's post for details of how to spot the difference.
I've made a simple comparison table for all these shocks you mentioned, with info I could gather from the internet.This is what I came up with:Direct link to the picture if mods find embedded picture too big.Price in GBP with shipping and VAT refers to the Price source.Local price is just for YSS and Bitubo, I went today to a local bike shop and that's how much it costs if you purchase them there. Added for comparison to online shops. Big difference.Ohlins is allegedly, completely serviceable. Not sure for the others.Now I'm in trouble
