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.
2007 Yamaha YZF-R6 Rear Shock

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.
