Anyone using a stock busa shock on there gsxr1000? Heard it can be done and is a good shock for dragracing stretched 1000. Is that true?????

Yeah first gen shocks are the best and actually have one on my k5 now.

If u have a 07-08 gsxr1000 it won't work shock is to long.

if anyone needs a revalve i have one that came off my 07 1000 its perfect just doing bike a lil different but shock works great.

 

[TwsTdGsxR]

use the 07 gsxr 1k shock with the busa spring for a good combo

 

[pafundi]

So busa shock works great up to 06 after that it needs to be modified because it is too long? Am I understanding this correctly? And any way to make it work with it being a bit too long?

 

[pafundi]

use the 07 gsxr 1k shock with the busa spring for a good combo

how much stiffer is busa spring? Which better revalved 07 1000 shock or revalved/modded busa shock?????

i just boaught a progressive drag shock from trac for like 320.00 and its bad ass.

not in my experiance at all. my bike has a 68-72 arm on it, with a factory gen 2 busa shock. the shock is heavier, but is also progressive. gen1 busa shock might be better on a short bike but the gen 2 works best for me. its also a little longer so you have to be a little more picky with your flat link geometry when you get one.

with a longer arm you have a bigger lever, so you need a heavier spring. the busa shock has a 850# i beleive, gen 1 is 800. have to check my numbers but i think thats right. you can pick up a gen2 busa shock for 60-150 dollars, so why not try it? i did and it works just as good as a penske.

gen 2 shock

So let me get this rite a gen 2 busa shock works great for say like ,I got an 03 gsxr 1000?

 

[xclr82xtc]

if its long enough. its got a heavier spring and is made for a bike thats much heavier. by making your arm longer (woking the shock with a longer lever) you basically make the shock think its on a heavier bike so it works like its supposed to... if that makes sense???

 

[king86]

so whats the best option for the 07-08 bikes with a long arm? gen 1 or gen 2? who does a good job setting them up?

 

[xclr82xtc]

gen 2 is the better shock.

 

[king86]

What's it take to install one on a 07-08 1000

 

[xclr82xtc]

bolted right up on my 05.

 

[baggdexpo]

Just as good as a penske? Not even close..... :hysterical::s21:

 

[STOCKBOTTOMEND]

I got a 07 1k and we thought a busa shock would fit but it was too long. I picked it yo from here. It's off a 08 busa its also the silver area top and bottom were painted black. I'll sell it for 70 bucks tyd if any interested. Also we tried everything just would not work its just about 2 in longer then my stock one.

Pm me if interested in the shock. Thanx.

Just buy that revalved shock from lilc1000 & save some time & trouble. I've seen it in action...it worked great on that missle of his :2thumbs:
