sorry for all the posts guys just looking for info.

will a 1995 rs 250 shock fit my vfr? and what else will i need stuff like the shock linkage etc?

is it a hard mod to do? just my vfr shock wont adjust much and even tho its a remote ressy model its sags like an old ladies

haha.

adivce much appreciated lads!

Best advice... search for it

Needs rebuilding whatever you do...might need a new spring too..etc etc.

Easiest option, buy my Hyperpro

RS250 shock fits, mine has one. Needs filing to fit into the top section, and as Mark said, you'll need a new spring the standard one is far far too soft.
Bad photo but you get the idea...

haha

na my mate has a shocker from a rs 250 and he said he'll give it to me for nowt so if it just needs a longer spring and a bit of filing i think ill have it.

what are the specs of your spring matt? can you remember? oh, and thanks for the pic :)

and what did you use to file, and which part?

any other bits i'll need to get or will it just fit?


how much you after for your hyperpro vipe?

I had a new top shock mount made to fit the RS shock, saves grinding away the shock. Yours for £15. I had it fitted and done 1 trackday then a maxton came up so brought that.

I think mine's an 800lb one, depends on your weight, I'm around 12 stone, an 850lb might be better for me really.

It's the section of the shock that fits into the frame at the top needs filing on either side so it fits in the hole, type thing.

Not a lot needs to come off so a hand file is fine. (Or buy the bracket above!)

All you need is a spring and a file, oh and a few spanners, job done.

VB is after £450 for the HP shock. Hmm, nice.

£450.

haha all sounds well with this rs250 shock to be honest lads!

i think i'd be better off with the 850lb one matt as i weigh just under 13 stone.

can't really afford the aftermarket shocks lads...rescession and all..
