Default GSXR Rear Shock....!

Just to mention, for those thinking up upgrading their rear shock, all I can say is do it. In all it cost £210 for the shock & setup (ebay, unused GSXR K5shock £60 & fitting and COMPLETE setup at Steve Jordans £150).

Been out for a ride this evening and it feels like a new bike... Soo much more responsive.

Anyway, just thought I would share this with you all!

Plus bought and fitted some lowers, so it looks as well as feels like a new bike!

Tres HAPPY!

Any K series GSX-R.
Though only for the injected model! Worth mentioning I think, the Ks are too short for a carbed one. SRAD or 636 for those. Or Hayabusa if you're looking for trouble

I know I was just saying in case anyone with the nicer model was reading and didn't realise that you were just talking about the jaggy one.
