BMW S1000RR shock

[Deviant400]

ok whats the deal with these shocks in the 30,
are they really a straight swap over with no faffing about with springs etc

[Drunkn Munky]

Spring will need changing and possibly the shim stack too as its setup for a very soft spring compared to what the NC needs. Fits straight in tho im told.

There's a pic of one done on jap4pefrormances Facebook page I believe they filed some of the frame

[Tomzed]

Here ya go mate these pics are from Facebook and there a comment from the guy saying how he got it to fit

[Deviant400]

yeah i seen colins post in the vfr400 page , i was just wondering about springs really , im guessing to re spring it it would need sending off some place to be done

[Drunkn Munky]

The spring you can do yourself but my guess is your have very little damping with a harder spring, as stock they run near maximum damping with that soft spring.

^^^ i guess so tony then then your just shelling out so you may aswell save the pennys for a maxton or summit

[Deviant400]

although it looks sweet that there shock

[Drunkn Munky]

Depends how much you pay for one, atleast once its done you know its perfect for you. With a second hand Maxton your going to need to budget for a refresh anyway.

Looking at 2nd hand prices, they are about £100-150, need some light frame modification and even re-damped or re-sprung. Would you not save your money and have the standard one re-built or go for an entry level Maxton or Nitron? Would be nearly about the same sorta money (maybe a little more) but it'll slot right in with no issues.
