Rear Shock, What else fits in...

Post by rc46 »

Ive seen some of the posts regarding a R6 Shock fitting into a KR but dose anybody know if there is anything else out there that uses the same shock OR that will slip staright in? as a KR-1s? Im looking for a cheap replacement while mines being serviced?

Cheers

a KR1 shock is very very short, I havn't found another one that's as short :( .

For my KR1-SV project, I'm milling another linkage part (that thing with the 3 bearrings) at the moment, so I can fit longer shocks :wink:
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

It shouldn't cost much for a oil change and a re gas unless you'r going for a re-valve as well?

Russ at Mick Gardner Racing Does all of my suspension work. Give him a bell and I'm sure he'll sort you something out.

That's why I've got a KR1S shock in piecies :lol: :? It was knacked when he stripped it. He is good and honest when it comes to suspension and you can just phone him at any time for help or advise on bike set up or anything suspension related. He won't just re-gas and oil a knacked shock and charge you for it.

In the end I bite the bullet and got him to make the ohlins for me. It wasn't that much more expensive then messing about and trawlling round buying shocks and getting them stripped.
