I know where it is robbo, but my computer is in the sick bay at the mo. Stig will be along soon. He has it saved in a safe place. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Also Kwak 1400 will fit with spacers for top mount and bottom hole needs enlarging. This was done by memeber trumpet955

just thought you all should know I have just fitted shock from ZZR1400 went straight in had to
make up spacers for top mount and enlarge the bolt hole on bottom apart from that straight
forward. even the battery box goes back without any adjustments. been told gsxr1000 shock fits
but the battery box has to be moved with this all standard. so much better than 19 yr old one that
has got a little tired.

Paul.....I tried to open the information on the suspension upgrades and other topics by opening the thumbnails on this page but many no longer work.

Has the info been lost.?

No sadly I never got around to finishing the sections... That's why I've not linked the area into the main site. Hopefully one day life will stop getting in the way :retard:

The shock from an early R1 won't fit the Exup-R or Ru as they're completely different

So should the shocks on this list be a pretty much straight swap with the standard one ??

i just put a zzr1400 top shock in my exup.....all that was needed was a bigger hole drilling in the bottom shock mount and a spacer making for the top ,battery box even goes back in with no hassles
