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 think it's only the 03/04 6R shockie that fits mate...

Not 100% sure on it though

05-06 zx6 are the same

My favorite thread on Riderforums

Just read the link and looks like it is not a straight swap
thanks for the link ttc
Wreckers said they will be getting some a 03 shocks comming in
but not sure when.

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.

Ok, thanks for that i will look into it
