HELP fitting GSX-R rear shock

[silent11]

well basically got the old shock off and now to put the new GSXR shock in and it wont "go in the hole" lol because of the reservoir thing

do i need to remove the riders seat etc and drop it downwards

please if anyone can help, its a 06 pointy btw

i found it easyer just unbolting the rear sub frame that way you have loads of room 2 do it.

also put the lower bolt in 1st then lift the rear wheel and the shock will just slide in 2 the top mount thats on the frame then just pop your top bolt in it.

if you get stuck with it just send me PM.

well got the shock in the hole

but as i took the dogbones of first when removing old shock the subframe droped of course,

i tryed a car jack and seemed to work well thats until i had a slight problem (thank god i have R&G's)

i didnt seem to reach the top mount as the tool box thingy was in the way of the res,

what do i need to trim of that?

thanks

so the shock is basically in now and just the slight problem of the undertray/battery box part now???

if so then wot i done was move the hole tray back a bit you have 2 drill 4 new holes 1 each side of the battery where the ones already are at the minute only take them closer 2 the front of the battery box and then at the very back of the sub-frame thers 2 threaded holes which nothing seems 2 go into use them 2 hole the rear of the tray up.


you may need 2 trim a few other bits of plastic of here and ther so it is 100%


again feel free 2 PM me if you have any problems.

oh and another way you could do it is the way alot of people do it which is cut a wake of the battery box and lift the battery up a bit.

thers a thread with a few pics of this done if you do a search.
