So R6 2010 shock ebay $40 ride height dog bones 130mm centers $30
And presto new shock
So wots involved
well the R6 unit is 5mm shorter hence the shorter dog bones are needed
top hole on the R6 is m10 fz1 is m12 so took a drill to it as loadsa meat in there
R6 top bush is 4mm narrower so two 2mm washers used
A very small bit of dremel work to aid clearence (and i mean small)
everything else is stock
My R6 shock was on spring load 4 which was way to soft at 7 it's just fine
piccies
Dremel work
New dogbones
Got me centre stand chrome powder coated too
