The simplest replacement option for the FZS600 is a Hagon shock which are around £299 new with a 2 year warranty. If you weigh more than 95 Kgs go for the heavier spring. It fits straight in and no playing with dog bones or spring rates. I have one on my FZS600 and has covered over 60000miles.
Hey unfazed,
Just been on the 'Hagon' website and the shock for my bike is indeed £299-50, the fact that the unit is made for the FZS600 fazer (98-2003) makes the task easier, no spacers and doggy replacements, just swap it over. I now need to [size=1em]convince the Mrs that the bike is totally [/size]unusable[size=1em] and unrideable without this very necessary replacement part, then jobs a good-un. with my riding jacket, boot, gloves, bucket etc I'm 89 Kg so I guess the standard spring would be about right, I do not ride two up very often, maybe once every 20 or 30 outings, and its either my Mrs or daughter and they only go about 57 Kg togged up.[/size]
[size=1em]Shame it was MOT'ed a week ago I could have brought that into the [/size]equation.
[size=1em]The next really necessary expense is the stainless steel after cat exhaust system for my MR2 Spider, that really needs to be done sooooooooooooo badly before the good weather sets in because it doesn't sound as I want it to LOL.[/size] :eek
Then the seats are black leather and I was thinking about getting red leather replacements for the Spider, but I think I may get an unsatisfactory response to that :foc [size=1em] Yeah that's the one[/size][size=1em] :rollin [/size]
