ZX6rShock

Tue Jul 08, 2008 12:49 pm

Does any body know if a zx6r 06 model rear shock fits a 03 Z1000?
Cause there is one going for $350.00 @ the wreckers and is in new condition the bike has only done about 1,000 ks.
I know a 03-04 model fit i think straight swap,but not sure on the 06 model
I have checked out rider forum but cant find any info on a 06 shock swap.

I've got an 05 shock in mine, just had to put the dust seals from the Z1000 shock in and that was it.

The shock that i was looking at was a 06 model zx6, so was not sure if it was a straight out replacement and according to a link on riders forum its not.
So Petro were do these dust seals fit? and is the 06 shock the same lenght as the Z1000?
Thanks. :)

There's 2 little dust seals on the bottom mounting point of the Z1000 shock, I just changed them for the ones on the ZX6r shock.
