Ohlins rear shock for GSXR 600 K1-5

**Motoracer** · 23rd May 2005, 15:42

Ohlins rear shock that was built up for me by Hawera M/Cs (Ohlins specialist for NZ) 4 months ago is up for sale. I used it for a total of 5 race meets out on the track and it has never been used on the road at all (other than Paeroa street circuit which was 1 of the 5 race meets). So it'll be in primo condition and I am only selling it as I need cash atm.

I will give out more details when I get home. It'll come with the spec sheet and the ohlins compression adjusting tool.

It is suitable for riders around 66-70Kgs body weight but another spring can be fitted to suit your weight. The shock is for a K1-K3 model however with a minor adjustment by Hawera M/Cs, it'll fit the K4-K5 perfectly at an additional cost of $80 for the part.

Asking for $890. Cheers!!

Hey I can seriously imagine you on a Motard (I know I will get flak for that) but you would be good on one of them, any cheaper than F2 ??

Na mate, A motard will actually cost more than my current bike to buy. I think 125 GPs is the go for at least the rest of 2005. After '05 I might get back to a later model 600 once I regain financial strength by saving up like mad.

I am just selling the Ohlins then fixing the bike and putting the stock shock in. Once that's done, a cheap track bike will be up for grabs for new commers wanting to get into racing with a good reliable bike or people who just want to do the odd track days.

It's too early to say. I'll see how good I repair it. Back to original condition along with the mint paint job or just a do up job with alloy welds and glassed fairings minus the paintjob.

Definetly keep your eyes peeld though. Tell you what, I'll PM you first when I am ready to sell before putting it out on the market.

That Ohlins should also fit K1 - on Bandits and some other Soozuks too. I almost got one till Robert offered me a new one. He can check compatibility for other models.

Anyone want this shock for $750 right now?

I need the cash right now for something. Otherwise I guess I'll have to keep the shock or sell slowly for the right price which would be a bit higher than that.

Cheers!

Hard to belive a young fella like you has to pay for it

But if you need the coin, that bad, what time are you heading south, I'll bring the money for that tyre up to Bombay, or you can call at my work tonight on your way down.
