Thanks to the work done by Hellgate, FinalImpact and DHoback, we know that it's possible to fit an R1 shock onto the FZ6. However, I'm still confused on exactly what I'd need. This is what I believe I need along with some questions:
- 01-04 R1 shock
- Aftermarket R1 shock preload adjuster
- FZ6 spring
I've read that apparently you have to have the R1 shock revalved to accomodate the heavier spring of the FZ6, however I'm not sure where to do that, or what to even ask. I would imagine most shops that do this kind of work will set the valving for a particular rider's weight on that particular bike, but in this case we are moving the shock to a different bike with different geometry which would have an impact of the valving. Not sure how much this would cost or who to go to.
If the mod can be done without revalving, this would be ideal. I'm about 175 without gear.
