Rear shock options for 19st rider
I'm looking to upgrade the rear shock to suit my fat **** weight. What's best for my 2002 curvey to suit my 19st without gear
I've searched and read threads but not really found anything conclusive |

Re: Rear shock options for 19st rider
this all depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Kwack zx6r 2003-4.Not really ideal but a cheap option much better than the standard one.Minor cutting of battery tray required.

Re: Rear shock options for 19st rider
Assuming gsxr1000 shock would be heavier spring rate tho due to heavier bike ?

Re: Rear shock options for 19st rider
At 19st I would guess you are going to need a spring rate of around 675lb/700lb so after market would be your best option IMO.
You will not get any where near that lb spring with a ZXR/GSXR shock, Busa is the heaviest sprung I think. Take a look at the Nitron sport shock it will cost you around £370 but it will be sprung for your weight. |

Re: Rear shock options for 19st rider
How about a gsxr1300 shock with an aftermarket spring
Surely that would be ~£200 and cheaper than nitron etc |

Re: Rear shock options for 19st rider
Busa shock is 700lb so that would probably be ok, you would however need to check it for length, more than the standard 338mm is preferable and also find out if its a straight swap.

Re: Rear shock options for 19st rider
Looking at the reservoir on the Busa shock I think you are going to struggle to get it to fit.
