Title: just switched out my shock, WOOOOWWW!
Post by: Jlittle on September 08, 2009, 09:20:23 AM
So this weekend i was bored and decided to go to the junkyard with my friends to see if he could find a decent junker to pick up as a project bike.  Well i came across a wrecked GSX600F checked it out still had its shock and wasnt in too bad of condition at all.  A little rust in some posts but i sanded it down and repainted.  Slapped that baby on my GS and WOW.  Its like going from a trampoline to a firm water bed.  The bike has never felt so good around corners.  Just had to express my WOWness to how much of a improvement this gives.

nice.. let us know what year and any modification you did.  then other people can maybe use it too.  I am on an R6 shock myself... but those are tuff to find nowadays.

Im not sure what year the GSX500F was.  Looked like a late 90s.  It was a strait swap no mods required.

GSX600F AKA Katana 600... I think almost all years work equally well (and most are the same)
