1200 gas shock on a gs?

[Comfy Old Boots]

Anyone managed to squeeze one in?

Obviously that should be a GSA shock on a GS.

Sorry.

The bushing on my center stand is bolloxed so not worried about sticking a different leg on it. Not bothered about center stand. Anybody done this and have an opinion??

I assume you are talking about the rear shock, if so it will raise the rear of the bike by an inch or so , no ill effects although it will sharpen up the steering slightly. The stands should be fine unless you swap both shocks for gsa ones

If you are talking about the front shock only it will have the opposite effect ie raise the front and slow down the steering.

Someone show the OP the edit button for his future reference as the first four posts were all made in less than 30 minutes. You get an hour to edit. He could’ve edited them and served up all the ambiguity in a single post, instead of him answering his original question three times.. .

Yes sorry about that, I had a typo in the title and I posted on my phone. I have now figured out how to edit a post on the phone. I fail to see what difference it makes if it’s one or four posts!!

I am indeed talking about the rear. Thanks for the reply. I think I’ll change out the shock and see how it performs. My rebuilt hagon is not up to much.

Maybe get Denso to Rebuild the original?
He does a cracking Job for reasonable Money (IMO anyway)....

I had it rebuilt by hagon. It’s just a low quality shock.

I’ll give you a shout over the weekend Keith
