Z1000 rear shock
Z1000 rear shock
Just picked up a Z1000 2009 which came with a non-standard rear shock fitted. I was told that the shock fitted was from a ZX-14 ?? I was also given the original.
How do I identify a ZX-14 shock and the original?
Thanks

Re: Z1000 rear shock
Where did you buy bike?

If it doesn't wheelie

Did it make much of an improvement over the standard shock?
