Rear shock - nsr500v4 - 17-05-14
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?
Re: Rear shock - bludclot - 19-05-14
34.92mm to 35.02mm depending upon which angle i measure across the faces of the bush. it's probably worn unevenly in use.
Re: Rear shock - nsr500v4 - 19-05-14
Cheers Bludclot, i will get the new washers made up now
Re: Rear shock - unfazed - 19-05-14
I made up two washers 2.65 mm thick 12mm hole in centre
Re: Rear shock - bludclot - 19-05-14
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.
Re: Rear shock - mickvp - 19-05-14
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 :lol

Re: Rear shock - red98 - 19-05-14

Re: Rear shock - unfazed - 19-05-14
25mm OD will be fine
Re: Rear shock - mickvp - 19-05-14
