WTB: GSXR shocks

WTB: GSXR 750/1000/1100 shocks like this one ;



I am told its 1988-1995. Supposedly will fit the 250 and 650 Hyo's, so I'd like to test fit one and see how it goes.

Any condition considered, especially if I can borrow something and pay you if it works or return it. Kinda broke at the moment..

When I got it all sorted I'll publish my results, as I am sure there are lots of Hyo people wanting to know what fits etc.

I got the idea here http://www.korider.com/forum/modules...ght=rear+shock

I think its too recent. I know the older ones will fit.

What year is it ? 1988-1995 is what I'm after.

Your probably thinking of Tahana Parker. Possum on here. His Hyosung was competitive but had an Ohlins rear shock. He also had to fit upgraded brakes. He actually swapped his first one for another but it was a bit of a disaster with gearbox problems then another mech problem. After that he sold it. It wouldn't have been as good for protwin due to having to run standard brakes.

I tried something similar to this on the SV. Had the remote on the shock. It was way to soft.

Get the one off Ivan if you can as thats had the neccessary mods done to it.

Yea you may well be right mate,it was ages ago,never mind found a few old mags to re-read.(again).

I will talk to my dad who prettymuch owns it as I own the Ohlins in the bike.

But the Gixxer will probably be surplus for me now and wont be needed will get back to you ASAP can you give me eye to Eye heights so I can measure this up to make sure itl fit mate

Yes I heard that the SV linkage ratio was completely different to the hyo.

hokay cant get to it until wednesday arvo. Will post them here. Can I just remove the weight from the bike to measure this, or will I have to drop a bolt out of the shock mounting ?

Well if its completely different you might be wasting your time with Ivans shock. Knowing its completely different is no help at all unless it is quantified. GSXR linkage is completely different to the SV too.

Possibly the reason they hyo guys selected the shock you show is becuase it has a seperate reservior. When you fit any of the other more modern gsxr shocks you have issues with the undertray and battery.

Yes, well I am quite in the dark. I haven't managed to get any straight answer out of anyone, except this one bloke who has done it. I don't reeeeely want it disassembled all over the garage floor - cant ride it then..

I guess your best bet is save the money and get something like an Ohlins at least then if it is wrong you can get Robert Taylor to set it up for you if you buy a shock through me and It dont work then youve lost out which sucks

[CookMySock]

Ivan, yeah at least I know the gsxr one will fit. I might have to change the spring etc.

Ok heres some dimensions (mm);

Length eye-to-eye 310
spring OD 70
eye end width 28
shackle end inside 29
shackle end length 23
