-====== R6 Rear Shock Swap======
-**What you'll need:**\\
-  * 06-08 R6 shock (earlier years WON'T work without alot more work)
-  * Spacers
-  * Dog bones
-  * I also recommend a heavier spring for the fzr600, around a 650-750lbs, the stock r6(~500lbs) is perfect for the fzr400.\\

-**The Shock:**\\
-These can be picked up of eBay for next to nothing ~$25.00USD.\\ \\
-:!:You will need to round the lower shock mount so that it clears the suspension knuckle.:!:
-All of the R6 shocks that can be used for this conversion look like this\\

-**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]FIXME. 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.\\

-**Dog bones:**\\
-~10mm short than the FZR dog bones, this raises the bike back near stock. 6mm thick.\\

-Stock on the left next to two new ones\\
-{{:r6_shock_swap_8.jpg?360|Click To Enlarge}}
-For the fzr400(3en1) I had to grind a tiny amount of the top frame mount although I didn't have an issue with the 600.
