I've toyed with the idea as well. I actually tried to draw it out, but it just did not work for me(limited tools, budget, small knowledge of suspension). It could be done if you had a good amount of knowledge, tools, and suspension. I just don't want to destroy something I love yet

Check this out. May give you a bit of direction.

Yes, it's possible, Suzuki did it on the GSX1100G.



Is it practical? That would depend on how much time/effort/money you want to put into it.

You may not have enough room on the swingarm to do the lower mounts, and it will be rather difficult to either make a new swingarm or modify your current one.

Just remember that "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder. Can't say that I have heard of dual-shock setups being "ugly" before.

shaft drive shock conversion

the cheaper option would probably be go out and buy the bike steve just suggested used. Easier too.

yep i got to looking today at it...it basically would have to mount rideght where the battery sits...very doable, but i think i wont mess with it...not for now at least

reason i say ive realllllly wanted a gixxer...may save up for one..hell i dunno

Or just get some good looking shocks....
