Posted on behalf of Garth:

Could you help please? I need to know which CBR shock would be a direct fit? Would it be the pre-RR version 600's or 1000RR's? I've merely been told it would be from an 01 to 05 blade. A bit lost with this one as it would be cheaper to ship a shock than to have mine rebuilt here in South Africa. Prices are just stupid, I tell you!

Thanx in Advance
Garth

I just bought a F4i shock for parts. It looks close. Its at my tuner's shop so I can't tell exactly. I'll check it out when I get a chance.

954 is a good fit on an 18, but 06/07 r1 is excellent fit with a little work

wadda ya mean its too fast!

what work needs to be done to make the R1 shock fit?

It is the CBR f3 shock that fits. The F4 Is to long. My 21 was fitted with a Fox CBR f3. I fitted a Ohlins F3 on my mc18 It is about 1 inch longer than stock . The R1 is a lot shorter if I remember right.

Hi guys, thanx a lot for the help. I have a good idea what to hunt for now.

Cheers
Garth

BTW: the R1 shock is a piece of junk in my opinion.

What you need is a nice HRC TT-F3 Showa rear shock... Now where did I put those

You're right there Steve... glad I've got a few F3 shocks too! They work really well and bolt right in with no mods!

I have to say, the USD NF5 front end was working really well too today. That is seriously nice suspension.
