Cangix Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment

Captain Chaos Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 actually that looks like a '91 750. In that case the bracket is not a straight fit. Quote Link to comment
Cangix Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment

KATANAMANGLER Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment
