[yorkie_chris]

I'm not surprised he couldn't help with info you've given us ;)

Fit a hagon one for some improvement without adjustability.

Hagon is direct replacement.Much improvement on standard shock. Obviously may need slight adjustment from factory for your weight, but pretty much a take old one out, put new one in shock.

That lot would have been useful in OP :p
What do you use the bike for?

I think the reason Zoran does not offer re springing is I don't think he reckons it's worthwhile considering the quality of OEM shocks.

[ger1111]

road but like to drive it on ..... i reckon the front end will be planted with the gsxr front end so i dont want the back to stick out .... 14000kms on standard shock is there a guide to setting that to see can i get better from it ...cheers yorkie chris

[yorkie_chris]

Nah the standard shocks are crap when they're new.

You ever take a pillion or heavy kit?

[yorkie_chris]

Also what weight are you really? 193lbs is 14 stone and 83kg is 13 stone :)


If you are really on lower side of that SRAD 750 is nice, higher which the chassis really needs. If you are on higher side then 03-06 ZX6R shock is good, but too short.

BUT these are all adjustable shocks. You'll still need to tweak a bit to get them to work. If you want fit and forget, fit a hagon.

And they are more than capable of carrying dead weight on the back. In that I mean truck loads of luggage, everything and the kitchen sink;)

[yorkie_chris]

No, the 750-SRAD shock is like a 400lb/in spring where ideal would be like 650-700 region. It really can't carry the kitchen sink without bottoming out everywhere. Forget pillion use too.

sorry Chris was referring to the Hagon in that sentence.
