GSXR750 rear shock question

[Cangix]

Hello everyone I have just signed up because of a question about the rear shock on my 1989 gsxr750 project bike. Can anyone tell me if this shock is the correct year for my bike? And where and how do i mount the reservoir? I will try to upload a picture. Thanks!

Hi and welcome.

Your shock is from a newer bike, the '89 750 does not have a reservoir. To mount the reservoir nicely you need the rear subframe (the black tube thing holding the mudguard and stuff) from a '90 750.

Hey captain I found the bracket I needed from a 1990 gsxr 750.......only problem was its atattched to a bike, so I bought the whole thing!

You'll fit right in.

actually that looks like a '91 750. In that case the bracket is not a straight fit.

The frame says 1989 11 month, I know one thing for sure is the front fairing is NOT from a 89-90 that is for sure. I am wondering what else isnt correct?

Earlier this year I went to buy a slabside 1100 fairing bracket but it was attached to a whole bike so I bought it. This sort fuckwitery is celebrated here. Welcome
