NC29 eye to eye length - 285-290mm

310mm will fit as for my experience.

silver, the problems you will encounter with a 600 shock,
- yep its 310mm and old one is 290mm
- increased angle will mean removing the coolant bottle as new one hits it and you cant get enough clearance to fit lower eye of shock into place.
- you need to dremal grind out the link to even make it fit (and be able to move adjust)
- check the eye bolt size as i had to have bushings made up to bulk it out to male tight (10mm out to 12mm if i recall)
- the big one is the increased angle of swingarm will drop your chain down, you ll have to lose some fairing.
- balancing your wheel is tricky as chain is very loose and until weighted you cannot tell if you have 1 inch play
- as above the increased angle will drop chain angle down onto the swingarm gaurd (small plastic runner/slide above left heel guard) and wear it faster and also shin up one side of your chain.
- dependant on what shock you have you also may have to grind off some of the top eye to make it fit into the gap

i have put a 02 600rr shock in my bike but from all the above drama im looking at taking out..............?

even reading the post again im going to get neg response to my post, mine is the same eye to eye i know 600f can fit im just highlighting the difficulties ive had.

i have the exact same shock on both my bikes fits straight in only mod needed is to dremel a small amount out of the dog leg for the ajustment screw works brilliantly and a massive improvment over the stock shock

Yeah, I've got the same shock, which works nicely with my weight, but I want to bring the back end back down to where it ought to be. Still, it's probably the way to go for a cheap racing mod.

Hi..

i'm a bit curious...i just replace my stock rear shock with a 600 shock (don't know which model).

a quick search on this site, mostly said that changing to 600 shock will raise the rear end a bit and different lean angle when parked. but, why it isn't happen to me ?

I think because the shock it the same length :))) But bike looks well.... in any cases..

I think the CBR600 shock you need is the FS,not sure but that was what I was told was on my bike when I bought it.

Hi, I run both WP (dry) and Ohlins (wet) rear shocks and I have them both set to 305mm. puts more weight on the front, but it suits me and both bikes handle very well.
