FS: R6 shock

[Homer]

Proper year for the swap.  
3-way adjustability, rebound, pre-load (forgot the other one)
Shipping from NC.  

I'll sell for $45 plus shipping.  
The first person that asks me to go lower - I'm turning it into a desk lamp.  Go to ebay, if you wanna haggle.

You can't haggle on ebay 

I can however give my recommendation of Homer as a good seller. I bought some boots off of him and am very pleased, plus they got here in a day. He hasn't been here super long so I figured I'd throw that out there.

compression, rebound, and preload

[Homer]

Thanks, fellas.

I'd be interested to see what it would look like as a desk lamp. 

Good Luck with the sale.

X2.

I have one so it won't affect me - lets see a lamp!

Hey!
Like your new-bike-envy, OCD!  I have one, so it doesn't affect me. 


$45 + shipping. 
Or go through Ebay. 

You get a nice shock, either way!

Sale pending.

Do the bushings come with it to fit the GS?

[Homer]

Nope.  It's an R6 shock with R6 bushings. 


Tell me what bushing you need, and I'll throw it in the box.
But, I'm gonna charge for it, and $5 labor for going to find it.

Homer how much of a job is it to fit to an 07 ?  what extra bits you need im not a small bloke and stiffening her up is on my list

http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=49310.0 have a look thias isa what I did to install it

[marcusk]

off topic but can you do any rear suspension mods without cutting your bike ?

[Homer]

SUPPOSEDLY... I can't promise, because I haven't put one on before....

SUPPOSEDLY you don't HAVE to grind anything.  At the bottom of the shock, if you turn the spring so there's a gap at the spot where everyone's grinding the swingarm... it'll bolt right in. 
There's a post around here, the guy did just that, and never had a problem.  It didn't turn back around later, or affect the spring rate and all of that. 
If you DO have to grind, you can do it with a dremel or a rat-tail file.  It's on the bottom, you can't see it, and it's not much.  I was worried about it affecting structural integrity, but no one's having a problem. 


There are other shocks.  This is the only one with 3-way adjustability, a pretty spring, and you don't have to weld an extension on your kickstand.  So says Werase - GS500 racer/builder extraordinare. 


As far as extra bits - the spacer he talks about in that link.  I have the standard R6 bushing and the shock, not the linkage. 
The bushing should be very inexpensive at a dealership or parts supplier.  Less than $5.
That's why I'm selling for $45, not $50 - what I paid for it.
