GPZ900R 1984 Rear shock replacement

[DogsandPussy]

Hi guys Merryxmas & Happy new year to all. My question is too the brainy people who know the GPZ900r 84. I want to replace my rear shock as the genuine unit is not rebuildable. I really can't afford or justify an Ohlins or similar. So I was wondering if there is a shock off another model kawasaki which would fit my 900 ?
I would appreciate any help in this area.

cheers

The ZZR110C rear shock fits with a couple of mods - 10mm bush must be replaced with a 12mm one (requires some slight machining), replacing the lower bolt with a longer one and somewhere to mount the reservoir.

Gos will probably be along soon

AFAIK Rad shockies in Brisbane can rebuild GPZ9 shocks for around the 200 mark

SteveM on here has lots of bits and pieces, not sure if he has a rear shock.
Try a PM.

spotted this one in the Old Dungers threads......I better start looking for a good C shock then !

Thank you for the help, I think I am going to go with a Wilburs shock from ASR in Melbourne, $580.00 AU 5 year warranty & from what I have been advised, better than an Ohlins & a lot less than half the price. Again thank you all for your help.

cheers
