Re: Suzukil gsxr k5 shock
yes it would bolt straight in if you wait another 3/4 days il have a gsxr shock for sale and it will be cheaper than the £110.

Re: Suzukil gsxr k5 shock
OK, so it'll bolt straight in. Questions abound now.......
1) Does the battery tray need cutting or whatever? (Prolly "no", since it "goes straight in") 2) Is there a difference in length between the two? If so, what's the effect on ride height / steering rake? 3) The difference will be great if others are to be believed, but will the setup be a nightmare? Thanks guys, Garry |

Re: Suzukil gsxr k5 shock
Interesting...the battery tray in the K3 is all part of the undertray - i.e. you cant just move it back - is the K4 different then?

Re: Suzukil gsxr k5 shock
btw, I think I paid around ?35 for my shock of ebay, so 110 sounds far too expensive.
There are quite a few knocking about as a lot of folk change the shocks early on for ohlins or similar, with very low (if no) miles... |
