Put my r6 rear shock in with my short dog bones.
Bike still gets the back wheel off the ground when it's on the centre stand, so that's good (and some said it might be a concern) All bolted in pretty easily. Longest part was searching the shed for my grease to regrease the bearings while I had it apart...but 45 minutes later gave up, next time...
Had to bend a little piece of bracketry on the frame to clear the shock, but only a few mm.
No test ride yet.
Settings to start with are:
650lb/in 6" spring (from memory)
10mm spring spacer
124mm dog bones
Top hat spacers to take the frame top hole down to 10mm
Preload ramp at least preload
High speed damper 3 turns from hard
Low speed damper 16 clicks from hard
Rebound damper 14 clicks from hard
Settings from kebab, I don't actually know what I'm doing yet haha!
The swap is pretty much the usual one everyone on here has done for anyone wondering. Nothing special apart from my choosing shorter dog bones.
Not ridden it yet, tomorrow!
Pics later.
