nobby01 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So do you need to make up an adapter for the shock like you do with a cbr 929 one, or is it the same length as a standard 5th gen shock? How doesย the spring rate compare to standard? Keep us updated on progress and results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted November 25, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don't recall seeing a post with a 7th gen to 5th shock swap. You may the innovator on it.ย ย What brand headers are those?ย They don't appear to be the VFRD headers that were done last year.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
