R6S (US only model?) looks to be the same as the rest of the world 2004-5 R6.

That might help.

The one I bought was a 5SL off a 2005 model and is identical to cajuns, its 300mm between holes although I still have to fit at a later date.

Yall don't have a R6S? Crazy I thought it was world wide with the change. But yes Cammo is correct.

Cheers, been having a look around at shocks and noticed it had the one eyelet lower mount where mine is a folk mount. Got an idea for a replacement shock for the 23 ill let people know if anything comes of it. ;)

Hi

Hope it's ok to bring up this thread again ;)

Might be looking for an r6 shock for my track nc29.

Just wondering about spring rates.

Cajun states the 03 has 9.6 kg/nm and the 04-05 has 11kg/nm.

Suited up in my gear I'm about 160lbs. Which spring would suit me best? :?:

I guess the bolt holes in top and bottom are the same size as the nc29 shock, right? m10, isn't it?

Kind regards
Martin

Just for info...

Made a little bit of research. According to Race Tech the:
03-04 R6 has a 9.85 kg/mm spring
05 R6 has a 10.8 kg/mm spring

Do anyone have some possible answers to my reply just above this??

Kind regards
Martin
