Does anyone make the spacers for the R6 rear shock swap?

Post by deernet »

Is anyone selling the spacers needed for the R6 shock swap? Surely someone has access to a lathe and could do something for us for a price. If anyone can help out, or knows who can, post up.

Hi,
Since the mail man lost mine from Haunter I made my own here. Send me a drawing / sketch. I will get them done pricing no idea until I see material required you're a listee so I am unlikely to want your left what ever as payment LoL. PM me.

I haven't bought the shock yet, but going by the wiki:

The spacers:
You need two of these spacers as the FZR shock is 10mm wider than the R6 and uses a 12mm bolt as opposed to a 10mm bolts.[ 10mm dia hole drilled through]. The green section needs to be 5mm wide, diameter doesn't really matter and can be anywhere from 14mm to 20mm. The red section should be just under 12mm dia and ~7mm long. For the FZR400 ignore the stepped down section on the left(red) as the FZR400 uses a 10mm bolt which is the same size as the R6, so you only need the green section.
