Title: will this shock fit?
Post by: miket on August 16, 2003, 09:21:12 PM
From what I read in other posts, it should, but I want to be sure before I bid.

Been spending too much time on e-bay lately... :roll:

Thanks.

I HEAR ya!

That shock is the right year and model bike. Should fit if it is as described. You should check out Joris' site for a complete and thorough install how-to. You will need to grind away a bit of the shock linkage if you dont have a 89-90 model. 89-90 fit no grinding.  No, you cannot use the gsxr shock linkage.

Make sure you get a shipping price before you bid. Could be too much.

Thanks for the detailed info, Pablo. Joris site is just what I needed.
I contacted the seller to ask about the condition/milage. I will ask about shipping too.
