So i searched for a couple key words but came up with nothing here,
I recently picked up a 97 600 Pre, and the rear shock is garbage soft, so i did the original research and found the 08 r6 shock replacement option which is great except, it does cost a pretty penny, i couldnt find any exact measurements of the mounting points of the shock though, so my question is
Newer Gsxr 750/1000 shocks have the same type of mounting, why do they not work?
I recently picked up an 07 GSXR 750 rear shock for my gsxr 1100 (the pre kat is the girlfriends bike) and that 750 shock has the same mount style as the 08+ r6
From the looks of it, the fork mounting point looks very similar, in distance down, if it was a matter of making it a little wider im sure small shaving could be done safely.
Any one have a solid answer?
Also, Heres a pic of the bike with Soupys Lowering Link and the shortened kick stand
