v-twinwalker Posted January 8 Posted January 8 hey everyone, i watched a video of a younger guy fitting a braced watercooled swingarm on his watercooled gsxr600 the other day, and he also put a 2007 gsxr shock in aswell as he said it was a straight swap i was wondering, would it also be a straight swap for my 89 gsxr750 if im running that braced watercooled swingarm? if its not which ones are?

dupersunc Posted January 8 Posted January 8 gen1 &2 s1000rr shock seems to work quite well. need to mod the battery box though. Quote

I use a gen1 on my main ride and its very nice. Im a huge fan of using newer stock shocks on older bikes, it just comes down to center to center dimensions and making spacers. The res always seems to complicate things though. Quote
Upshotknothole Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I'm positive I've read on here that the beemer S1000RR shocks work great with a stock slingshot swing arm, but foul on the bracing with the W swing arm. Gave up on the idea because I want the bracing more than that particular shock. Quote
