Default Sachs Mille rear shock on Ponty?

As above I've been offered, anyone know whether it would be a good upgrade for a heavy rider like me And anyone know about the facts and figures for them
Thanks
Josh

if the length is right and the top eye is the correct diameter then all you would need is a bottom fork to fit the sv as looking at one its an eye on the bottom. also looking at the pictures of one it looks like it would drop straight in if you got the bottom fork.

if your getting it for nowt than go for it as it must be better than the stock sv one

I'll be paying for it, but don't know how much yet. By bottom fork is that the linkage you mean? The fella said that he used it for 4 rounds of minitwin racing and it just fitted fine, but god knows if it would be a better a shock than a zx10 one since it is an aprilia one

if he has used it for minitwin on an sv then he must have already done the lower fork swap.

the weight depends on what spring it has on it.

cheers dyzio.,
latest pm from seller
it was off a 2004/5 rsv mille the length from eye to eye centre is 345mm about 10mm longer i am just over 11 stone kitted up and it was used on a k6 which i converted for minitwin racing, it jacked the back end up a bit and was stiffer and had adjustment for what i needed
so not sure if anything would have to be moved/cut
if you pm your email i,ll get some pics to you
i was looking for £75 delivered


see now im about 18 stone kitted up, so idk if its any good, and from daviesv's thread he had to machine a part to link it up, which i cant do

the clevis on the bottom of my nitron looks the same thread size as the pictures that Davie put up if Davie could give us the tread size i can check with my shock. if its the same then nitron would more then likely supply a clevis.

looks good,
Quote:
cant see why it wouldnt be any good my father run the same shock on a mille for a couple of years and he had no probs (any he was 17 stone kitted and was carrying pillion)
the reason im getting rid is because a few months ago i spent £750 on a maxton shock for racing
it is a straight forward swap using all the standard linkages the only thing i had to do was put two shims in at the top mount and i think i still got them
with the latest from the seller, im thinking i should take it, just will standard bottom bolt and linkage work ?
what do you guys reckon ??
