R6 SHOCK [RED VS YELLOW]

[nicoyastyln]

If anyone can help me out confirming if I have one of the right shocks that would fit.....

Before I buy this R6 SHOCK I wanted to confirm if I have the right one that would fit on my '08 GS500F without removing any parts above the shock and the rear wheel.

Ah. Here's your thread lol. As in my reply to the other thread, that one should work. It has a clevis that matches our stock shock. If you can, try to grab a shock that has the linkages as well. You'll need the larger spacer and bolt to fit the shock.

Here's a video made by our own slipperymongoose for the R6 conversion:

I think you are referring to this complete assembly right?

That looks like it should work. The top clevis/studd is not used. I reused the bolt from my stock shock and the one that comes with the R6 on the bottom with the spacer.

That'll fit.

Yeah, that's the linkage set I was talking about. As tcmia said, you reuse the stock top bolt, but you need the bolt and spacer from the R6 linkage for the bottom clevis.
