Re: 3EN2 Shock replacement.
I would wait too Bill, £100 seems a bit salty to me if its not desperately needed. Before you know it theres £500 blown & only half way there..
Have you tried any r6 forums for one?

Re: 3EN2 Shock replacement.
Afternoon Mark,Nay not tried others yet,someone on here might turn up trumps,cannot get going ,lack of space.Just sitting aboot at present and you know how itchy that gets moneywise. I usually try to get bits first then attack it so as not to loose concentration.Now know what will and wont work so today not a total loss.When I worked in the trade a top man trained me to get everything all together and not go wandering up the "Hill" trying to source parts as it cluttered the workshop up.

Re: 3EN2 Shock replacement.
And you can just imagine the chow when she went through the metal detector with that at customs,or even better when they forced the lock on the case to see what it was after the x-ray, spilling her unmentionables all over the bench.Aye that pics thing is not what I'm used to,usually load straight from hard drive.Pics are much better than links just have to remember to load from thumbnails not enlarged on photopluckit.Handy for refs for others too at a later date.When Haynes first came out we couldnt believe it,now their manuals are crap compared to most forums!

Re: 3EN2 Shock replacement.
I can see the difference easily now, hunter,was expecting having to use an adaptor which threw me off but Boris advised its not needed so now know what to look for.hunter wrote:That's the one mate,I can see it's got a fork on the bottom,

You were lucky to get it for that!
What links did you use and have you altered spring?
I weigh about 13 stone and like firm settings so was hoping spring rate would be acceptable.
