Rear shock. 87 gsx550


Recommended Posts

Learning as i go here :) (the joys of taking on someone elses project) 

Ive been offered a hagon rear shock but im scratching my head as to what im currently running. 

 

Anyone shed some light, is it a std unit (doesnt look like it from what ive searched) or some weird and wonderful part thats been retrofitted

 

thabks in advance

That shock wasn't designed to be on your bike. The lower mount has a added spacer to be able to use it. It also has air support. 

Both not standard for this model. 

 

 

Thought as much.. i was told it has a gsxr750 rear swing arm but where the rear shock come from, i have no idea. Im presuming its not a performace part and the that the hagon would be a step in the right direction.  My only concern is that the hagon is designed for the gsx550 and the rear swingarm change will probably mean that some sort of modification will be required
