i'll let joe fill you in on what was done.

yep thats right,
just finished fitting a 06/07 gsxr750/600 rear shock into bumblebee's gladius.
Well goodness me Deb and Joe ( and supervosor lol)..where to start?
Thanks for such a comprehensive and cogent step by step procedure, its a great post and real resource for those contemplating the mod. Your mods are getting me so restless haha. Love the pink spring too Debbz!
PS.. I cant tell in the pic..are your dogbones the same thickness as the oem ones?( thinking of the 3mm clearance you mentioned.)
Was wondering the same. I have ordered a shock as well, but not really diggin the yellow paint, would much rather paint it black.What kind of paint did you use on the shock? Will it crack and chip after some use? Considering a shock flexes, so would the paint.
bumblebee, I'd be curious to know how many miles you put on the gladius rear shock before swapping it out, if it was fully broken in or not. whats the average mileage lifespan of a gsxr shock from 06/07? was the gsxr shock fully broken in when you got it?
just some random curious questions.
I am not mistaken the small screw driver adjuster is the high speed compresion... It is not for the speed of the bike... It the speed the shock is being compressed... For example if you hit a speed bump, the sock will compress really fast... That is high speed compresion...For you techies here... Which is the low speed and which is the speed adjuster on these here shocks. (06 and newer)
Is it the outside 14mm nut or is it the inside blade screwdriver adjuster on the inside?
Not me m8. You have me confused with some one else.very nice 'rite up.
i know MadJohn tried the GXR front and it didn't work.
That swing arm looks dirty Any chance of a side on shot of the bike outside in the daylight so i get a idea of what mines going to look like when i get it done next month oh and what make of brake lines are those. They look very fancy.
