GSXR750 K5 shock - Anybody installed one?
As per the title, have any of you lot installed a K5 GSXR750 shock?
If any of you have any tips or tricks, any photos, lessons learnt etc? If nobody has I'll just get on with it and see if I can document the procedure with photos. J

Re: GSXR750 K5 shock - Anybody installed one?
Yes, I have - it fitted fine. OK, I was fitting it to a GSXR 750 K5, so it should fit well.
What do you plan to fit it to?

Haha, SV650 K5. This is the SV tweaking section after all.

Re: GSXR750 K5 shock - Anybody installed one?
I fitted a K3 1000 shock on the SV, minimal cutting of the battery box required.
If you need a spankingly good shock that will go straight in.... http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=209389 |
