shock manufacturer
- Thread starter Tazman001
- Start date
bought a shock off ebay. reportedly it is a shock off a 1993 GSXR600. Can someone ID the manufacturer? see pic below:
12.50" eye to clevis. gonna change the clevis for an eye, put it on my GS1150.
Fox Double Clicker; would probably fit on a 2nd Gen GSXR 750/1100 but would need to check those required lengths

adjustments
so can anyone tell me where to find a guide on what the adjustments are and what they effect? like the shrader valve in the end of the reservoir, threaded castle nut on the outside of the shock, dial on the end of the reservoir, the clevis is adjustable, I'll replace that with an eye to make the shock a total of 13" like the original on my GS1150, any others i've missed? I'll also need to replace the line that connects the shock and reservoir. thanks for any help/links guys.

Just keep in mind that, unless the spring rate matches exactly, you may need to change the length of the shock to change the preload and get your ride height where you want it.

found some info
on the shock and bike it came off of. The 1993 GSXR600 specs here: http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78521 on the GSXR forum. All kinds of info on google about same bike. The shock nomenclature is, after 4 hours of searching on the web is Fox TWIN clicker(Fox TC). The fox website has info on it about setup and etc. Link to Fox manufacturer website is: http://service.foxracingshox.com/powersports/index.htm for morotcycle shock support. They mispell it shox, making it hard to find. Hope this info thelps the next guy who buys a used Fox shock. Next comes sending them an email tofind out where to buy a rebuild kit and eye type rod end to replace the clevis.
U call the service department and order them for about $25; there are also rebuild instruction over at gixxer.com for the double clicker.

More Fox Shox info
The fox TC has an Eibach spring on it according to this article on the cycleforums dot com website(just search "recoated Eibachs"). I took the spring off my shock and measured it. the dimensions are 7" tall, by 2.25" inner diameter. Have to determine the spring rate yet. This website sells Eibach springs from 150 to 1100 lb/in in the 7X2.25" size. Found some info out there about spring rates, the lb/in is how much force it takes to compress the spring one inch. Working on trying to find a calculator to determine what lb/in for my bike. I'm gonna keep plugin' at it, hope this helps someone.
