What Shock!!!!
« on: April 26, 2005, 12:33:07 PM »
Well im about to sort out the front end and was thinking what to do at the back. Have looked thur the FAQ, and it looks like a gsxr 750 shock will go on a b6, but is there anything else would a gsxr 600 srad shock be ok? Loads for sale on ebay but dont know what to buy. And what year I should look at there is a few from 2001 and a nice new 2004 shock.

Any offers on whats a good one to fit? :lol:
99' B6

Most of the newer bikes shocks are not the right length. If you don't choose to go with the old GSXR750 shock listed in the FAQ, use the measurements as a guideline for what will work.  IIRC, the FAQ deals with the B12 and the B6 shock & linkage is slightly different, so expect a little more tail lift on a B6.
