caferacerdan Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Alright folks, What shocks have people run in their slingshots? Dont feel like forking out a few hundred quid for a shock so was going to purchase a second hand one off a more modern bike im hoping theres one thats a straight swap? Weight difference doesnt matter as my slingy is gonna be lighter than stock with no fairings, modern front end etc Quote Link to comment

Foz Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Slingshots were a common swap into bandits so in reverse common retro fit shocks into a bandit 1200 mk1 are cbr600rr 03-04 & gsxr1000k7-8 . These are about 312-313mm where as k4-5 are much longer 1 Quote Link to comment
CockneyRick Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Don't go for CBR, not only are they Honka, they're too soft IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment
