Billy, keep me posted on your GSXR rear shock project as I also need a new rear and was hoping to use something more modern and available. Also in another post I was curious about what you had to do to your stock swingarm to get the rear GSXR rim to fit. I am mounting a 750Katana 4.5 in rear with a 160-the swingarm looks very tight for this setup. Thanks, Ed.

Ed,

The piece I am talking about fabricating is just something that will mount between the clevis on the bottom of the GSXR shock and transition into the right mount for a GS swingarm. The GSXR shock is about 1 1/2" too short. I may even incorporate ride height adjustment into it. Hopefully the spring rate will be okay. If not it shouldn't be any trouble getting a heavier spring for the newer shock. This would be easier than adapting the '93 swingarm I have.

This is similar to the one I'll be using, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=35592. Mine is a stock '97 unit that was a race take-off with very low mileage on it.
