hey-
new to this site, was lured over here from posts on the fzr forum that said there was good info on doing an r6 rear shock swap here- but the link to the topic in the mods section says it hasnt been created yet, and it seems no matter how many ways i try to phrase it in a search it comes up as too many matching entries, so can someone point me towards some r6 shock swap info? i already have mt 06 r6 shock, and i understand i need to fab some bushings for the top mount, which im not too worried about, i just wanted to see what other people have done.
thanks!
r6 shock?

Re: r6 shock?
Here are your choices..
This one you drill the bushing(12mm hole) and use washers to space out the top shock mount) I used this method today on my shock
OR..
You can make two bushing/spacers on a lathe instead of drilling the R6 bushing.
How-to 1
How-to 2 <== this one has the dimension for the bushing/spacers

Re: r6 shock?
cool thanks,
as usual i have gotten myself in deeper than i was expecting, but i can handle making some new spacers and dogbones. does anyone have feedback on using the shortened stock fzr spring on the r6 shock, or a source for reasonably priced stiffer springs for the r6 shock? i dont want to have to soft a spring and i dont want to spend an arm and a leg either.
thanks!

Your sig does not say where you are? I have a company close to hand in west london that made me my springs
see:

The 4th item down has info on the spring maker
