I'm wanting to change my very tired standard rear shock for something a bit beefier with a bit more ride height without spending plenty of quids
Are there any other Yam models which I might be able to fit second hand.
I think I read early fzs Fazer 600 shock fits but can't find the thread.
Cheers

Do you have a link Norbo? Ive never seen any info on the mod on the Fazer shock and it sounds interesting.
The R1 shock also fits, again like the r6 it depends on the year and you need to mod the frame...

It does bring the back end up a smidge, the mod is fairly simple. You will need to remove the bottom mount from the rod on the fz shock, you just unscrew it but make sure you compress the spring before you do it or you will definatley get hurt.
Do the same with the powervalve unit and swap it over.
Job done

Can anyone put this to bed?Early or late model?
