Hi everyone, just checking that I'm right in thinking the fazer 600 rear shock is a good upgrade for my f2 ypvs as we all know how shite the standard f2 shocks are. Cheers Nick.

Yeah it's a good upgrade. It raises the back end slightly too which helps the handling and looks. You need the shock from a gen 1 Fazer (98-03) as I don't know whether the later ones fit. You also need to swap the lower fitting to the eye type from a YPVS as the Fazer shock has a fork type fitting.

How long is a standard LC2 shock ??
I've just bought a 2003 Fazer600 shock (300mm eye2eye) but now that its here I realise that it is from the next model on, it's got an eye on both ends rather than an eye on 1 end & a fork on t'other end...Doh!
Now then... without stripping the back end, have I struck lucky & not need to change the ends or have I bought something I can't use ??
Cheers.
Goody

After bugging a few people it seems that an early FZS is 300mm, the 2003 on is...300mm, so I'm alright on length (there's a 1st). Upper eye = 35mm width Lower eye = 25mm width Eye to Eye = 300mm  Could be OK !!!!! Cheers. Goody. |

When I pull the backend apart I can also prep & paint the truly horrible chrome/rust swingarm. If anyone out there has an LC2 or F2 shock lying around it would be great if they could measure the width of the top & bottom mounting eyes for reference. Cheers. Goody. |
