Suzuki Gladius - ZZR1400 Rear Shock
Hello,
I managed to install a ZZR1400 rear shock in a Gladius. I had a GSXR shock fitted, but it was really close to the battery box so I thought i'd try the ZZR1400 shock instead. Unfortunately, the shock is touching the frame. It doesn't just "lightly rub", but it is instead in direct contact. However, I went out for a test ride, and it works very well. I took some pictures (sorry about the quality, but it's raining outside at the moment and I have a rubbish camera): (That is just a glob of paint that I used to paint over a scratch from fitment, the shock isn't leaking). I am worried that it will be an MOT failure. motuk says that it can fail on: Quote:
So, weigh in with your thoughts. Is this an MOT failure? Is this damaging the shock? Is this dangerous? The bike seems to ride just fine. It's made the bike a bit higher, and it seems to give a better ride than the GSXR shock. |

Re: Suzuki Gladius - ZZR1400 Rear Shock
I was in bed last night and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I realised that I did need to change the shock or i'd have quite a few more sleepless nights.
I changed the shock this morning back to the GSXR one. Quote:
