just FYI, I still have this laying around

FZ8 shock still available price reduced

R1 shock no longer available. Anyone interested in the stock FZ8 shock with linkage let me know

pics

sorry for delay in pics. I took the spring off the R1 shock the other day and painted it quick just to make it look a little nicer and finally just got the spring back on the shock. It's getting late here but ill definitely grab a pic or two tomorrow and post up. till then

^ me to, u being from phili would save me a ton on shipping :D

Thanks for the encouragement and support! I figured this should be a pretty easy swap mod and worth it's weight in gold. Shock swap mods are probably the most bang for your buck you will ever get on a motorcycle that comes stock with non adjustable shock. After you do this mod it will make...

Stock 2012 fz8 shock FZ8 shock is 2012, it is mint and can come with complete linkage if wanted. Dogbone + triangle linkage. FZ8 shock with linkage $55 shipped CONUS let me know if interested or have questions.

some pics, like i said it is off of a used shock so some paint wear but you could do a light sand and paint what ever color you want with minimal effort

Yeah I can just send the spring, I'm cool with that. hmmm how about $27 for the spring shipped, usps priority? I figure I might be able to get it shipped for around $6 if I'm lucky, and $1 to cover paypal taking their cut that leaves me with probably closer to $19 to pocket. Like I said, I...

Just some info for anyone else looking for a different rate spring for the rear shock. It would appear that the 02-03 R1 shock spring is the same dimension as the FZ8 (not confirmed in person) And the R1 spring has a little higher rate at 8.8kg/mm so that spring might be a good option for...
