Default zx10r 2005 rear shock absorber - Great upgrade - now cheaper

I have had this shi=ock absorber since it was basically new. I have done about 3000 miles on it on my curvy sv. I believe it will also fit the pointies but i am not certain, please find out for yourself.

It is in good condition and the pictures highlight any markes. These consist of a few nicks to the red spring and light scratching to the gold shock where it moves up and don and at the top where the foam holding the battery up rested.

Thr information i could find on it says this about it:

"Rear Suspension - Bottom-Link Uni-Trak with gas-charged shock and top-out spring, stepless compression, rebound and preload adjustment"

It has lots of adjustment and is a great adition to improve your bike. I am selling as my bike now basically comutes and i will be selling and getting a car soon.

I would like £47.50 ONO including postage please,

thanks

andy

Hi Andy

How much do you weigh in kit? How does the shock cope with that weight? How does the shock cope with a pillion?

Thanks

im about 11 stone in kit about 12 stone probably (back box on the bike as well....i know say no more...commuter)

I have taken a pillion many times, infact paulthewitt on here is my bro and he has been on the back plenty...

I feel it copes well, although somne argue it is oversprung for my weight i find it ok, i just reduced the compression damping a bit and uped it with a pillion.

I am no suspension expert but would like to think i feel a difference in the bikes handling. I have the old shock on now and i feel this is more responsive and gives more feedback whilst giving me confidense and road holding.

Overall a great CHEAP upgrade, of course it will never beat an ohlins or similar but they are about 5 times the pice if not more...imo

Andy

i have pmed you back.

mods involve citting the battery box and repositioning battery slightly, and having less space under the front seat. plus you need another bolt for i think it was the top of the shocker, which this ne came with.
