OEM Shock for a Sport or Sport Cup?

Postby Road Weazel » Wed Mar 24, 2010 4:46 pm

Is this the original shock or was it replaced? The rear seems to sit a little high, like maybe the shock is a little longer than stock (which would be a good thing)...
Thanx.

My 1995 Sport came OEM with a Bilstein. Your's doesn't look like a stock unit.

it is definitely NOT the OEM shock. Can't tell what make from the picture but be happy you have a fully adjustible strut and not the stock Bilstein which is no great shakes if you only ride solo. And it tends to selfdestruct as many can testify over here.

I figured it was probably off a 600 sportbike of some sort. The back of the bike seems to sit high, the sidestand is a bit short and the rake angle of the forks is a degree or two steeper than the specs say it should be.
All of this suits me fine as I'm a heavier guy (about 205 #/93 Kilos) and the 4.2" of trail seemed a bit excessive.
Thanx.
