Title: GSXR rear shock install question!?!!!
Post by: blackchurch on June 27, 2003, 01:53:06 AM
I have been rebuilding my 1989 GS500 from the ground up. I installed the GSXR rear shock with res and it hooked up perfectly with NO cutting or grinding of any kind. I just want to make sure that I cross reference with all of you. I'm presuming that since in hooked right in and feels beautiful I should be ok right? I am of the opinion that if I don't need to slice and dice anything that I shouldn't. Just checking. By the way, stripping everything off of your bike and getting virtually everything powdercoated is a beautiful thing. Thanks! :thumb:

What...Its fine...I just prefer the steel. I haven't used the aluminium for any of its benifits. The steel needs a little grinding...Well grinding metal is too much fun.
Cool.
