Re: rear shock change

Re: rear shock change
think i'll just have to keep on the look out for the right one to turn up on ebay. Might see if i can get the 08 zx6 one at a better price got to be better than an 8 year old stock one

Re: rear shock change
oops your right getting confused now, ment they are to soft. the one is the same as stock and the other slightly harder the other harder still. all are to soft like i sead you need 12kg/mm and there isnt any that hard so you go with the next best thing and thats the o4 zx10r shock as its at least got a 10kg/mm spring and slightly longer than stock

Re: rear shock change
ok found a zx6 shock but it seems to be an 05/06 one and is 1.5mm shorter than stock but slightly stiffer. would the slight difference length really make much difference

Depends how good you want it to be and how much cash you've got waiting  Have you read through this whole thread? It'll take some time but you'll probably know the answer by the end. |
