Hello from Poland.

Few days ago I bought Fz6 from 2005, but due to my height I have to do some lowering.
I found lowering link which is replacement of ending of rear fork.

Because now I can't remove rear shock from bike I am asking if someone have dimensions of this part? For now I know theard M12x1,25.

Ps. Sorry for my English. It isn't really good.

If your friend can help;
- take the shock off
- use a spring compressor to remove spring. You have to do this anyways.
- remove the eyelet from the shock shaft
- mill off as much as you can of eyelet.
- you have to leave enough threads to fit the shaft to depth.
- drill and bottom tap eyelet.
- apply loctite to shaft and assemble eyelet to shaft.
- install spring. Install shock.

- Front of bike. Loosen the pinch bolts to allow forks to slide up the clamps an equal amount to level bike out.
- tighten pinch bolts....


Note: the bottom eyelet is known to rust into place. The bolt, needle bearing, sleeve and seals may need replaced.

Good luck!

Really great manual! Many thanks! :thumbup:

But probably I will just disassembly my eyelet and: or do totally new on CNC, or I will buy used fork for this experiments.
