dosx Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Yes it is :grin: I followed the link to your eBay auction. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmystartup Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I've been bidding on some of these and trying to ask for part numbers ahead of time. Man...some of these sellers respond slowly. Can anyone tell me if the 92-95 shocks change at all? Some descriptions say they'll fit 92-99 but the difference (besides length) is the way the hose attaches to the reservoir. On one, it comes out of the shock at a 90 degree angle and straight into the reservoir and on the other it is reversed, straight out of the shock and into the reservoir at a 90 degree angle. I'm confused... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scott Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Hey if you spend all day chopping up hot Fireblades what times left for emails.....? :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmystartup Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Well I ended up getting screwed. The guy didn't respond so I took my chances, submitted a low bid, won and received a 900RR shock MAS-003. Crap, totally useless. I'm too damn impatient when it comes to buying bike parts. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.XX Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ok, so is there enough interest to do a group buy on the springs?? I am impatiently waiting on the rest of you guys Who is ready to order ...Raise your hand :bike: and say "I" :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 [irritiation level = HIGH] Just for the record, this thread was to determine what weight spring to get since we had already determined that there was enough interest to move foreward in another thread. Then it stalled out when it cam time to choose a weight for the spring. We had at least 10 people who were in, then only got about 6 votes for spring weights when it was time to pony up the $$. [/irritiation level = HIGH] Anyway, I am in, for the 16.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.XX Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 OK guys who is still interested in doing this order lets start a new thread ...would be great over the winter project ...that way there is no need to rush the shipping So whos in?? :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimXX Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Question: I know the suspension moves 4.7" total- but how much does the shock compress at its shortest point? If 12-5/8" is the max figure, what is the minimum? Thanks for info. TimXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v00d00child Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Having just bought a house, if we don't do this order soon, I'm gonna wind up blowing the money on drapes or some other fluffy puffy crap.

SwampNut Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Ok, I fucked around on this too long! I'm going over to the spring place right now. When I get back I'll post cost and collect payments. I have to prepay the order in full, so I'll ask that everyone that wants one do that also. I'll account for all the costs as soon as I have them.

Northman Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I'm out of the order. Found another option for my spring needs. Sorry if that screws up the numbers, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity when it came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 Then there's mounting... Do you guys have access to a place that can put the spring on the shock? I had a hell of a time finding a place. Only one with a compressor is a Harley aftermarket performance place. So I kicked around the idea of buying one if people want to send me the shocks to swap the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just rent one from Checker or some other car parts place? Maybe the car ones are too big for this purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 Yeah, they won't work. Since I've got the RaceTech spring I had to try to find a way to change it, and had a hell of a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
