Looking for the best rear shock upgrade, any advice??

[ukdan92]

Im trying to find the best bolt in or very close to bolt in rear shock replacement, which is better than stock for comfort and 2 up riding, but also turns and solo riding.

at the minute im looking at a mk2 B12 shock but is this the best option?

thanks in advance

Try sending a PM to member TMod. He can help you come up with a good choice.

Anything newer than what you have will be an improvement.

haha good point, i can't imagine an 18 year old shock being in very good shape

I just picked up an R6 rear shock. That is one to consider.

[scottynoface]

I'd be looking at the R6 as well, complete adjustability is a nice thing.

Just checked the prices for a used Kat shock. Don't waste your money on them. The R6's are going cheap.

[steves]

R6 shocks are only good for pre98.

Why not post 98s? Is the subframe different and in the way?

He's got a pre, doesn't he?

Something about a clearance issue on the knuckle.
