My idea is that the bike feels a bit more like an adult. The shock gives more feedback than the standard one and the limits are higher. Also a good modification if you ride often with a passenger. I am quite happy with the change. But do not spend to much money on it. A young second handed from Ebay or something should do the job.
If you do the modification, you will have to cut a piece out of the battery box!! |

I just got a minter GSXR1000 K4 shock off good old ebay for £55 with postage, well happy with that price.
I do a lot of two up riding and have a non standard twin exhaust that goes under the seat so need this mod to maintain clearances. I am a lazy git so have booked it in at Steve Jordan's as a few folks on this forum have commented on his work. Will try to remember to report on how it feels after the work is done next month. |

Normally you just have to cut out the left corner so the oil reservoir can fit. Then you can replace the battery in the original position.
How I have done it???? I have cut the battery box of the undertray. Cut about 10 centimer of the undertray and then replaced the battery box in the opposite direction. The GSX-R 1000 shock fitted nicely in afther that. But I recon, it is not the easiest way. |
