    Rear Shocks

    Hi all.

    Will the rear shocks off a 1995 Suzuki Intruder 800 fit my 1979 Suzuki GS850G.

    Regards

    Chris

    I doubt it.... measure up the eyes, the overall length & the amount of travel & see how it matches up. My guess is that it will be shorter with less travel but I might be wrong.

        Be cautious about fitting short rear shocks to a shafty, it will cause the uni joint to work much harder and could prematurely fail.
