    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rear Shock swap advice for 1150

Does anyone have the low down on how a hayabusa shock would swap into an 1150? I saw a thread from a few years ago but the OP didn't take any pics or give too much info about it.

TIA!
 
Would need to change swingarm and everything else including footpegs and mounts. I'm installing a '94 1100 gsxr arm with the busa shock on my '83 750. 1150's (anything that is fullfloater style rear suspension.) need a shock with an eye style mount on the bottom of the shock, busa shocks are clevis type.

If the clevis is the right dimension I suspect you could use it but you'd have to put a spacer in the middle & maybe on each side too...

I have no info on the Busa Shock. I know the Ducati Monster 900 is a straight bolt on though...
 
I put a 750 Gixxer on my GPz. I had to mill a touch off the top and shim the bottom, but it fits and rides great. You need to find a shock from a similar weight that has the same ends ((eye and clevis, whatever) and is roughly the same length.
I would probably go to Progressive and find out what fits your bike, then find out what other bikes that shock fits. Then go the eBay and do some searching. I think I paid $50 for mine; they aren't worth much to Gixxer owners.
