08-09 busa gen 2 rear shock spring Wanted

Recommended Posts

At a guess Dave I'd say  yes. I'll fish it out tonight if I get time & do you a pic. Got a lot of work to sort though before I go back on the road tomorrow.  Smile

That looks like my pic of Gen2 Busa and B-King shocks side by side???? The Busa spring is about 10mm longer but will just about fit on the B-King shock body to give a reasonable range of preload adjustment. You will probably need to increase the compression and rebound damping to max or near max settings to complement the spring which is about 35% stiffer than stock. I think the spring rates are in the order of 9.7kg/mm for B-King and 13.4kg/mm for Busa spring.

You're welcome to come down to me one weekend and we'll try my shock on your bike no1

Well, I paid £40 for it originally. How close can you get to that dude? Smile

£39. Is this the gen 2 one then m8 ?

TBH Dave I don't know, I can't remember what year bike it came off. do you want the whole shock or are you having it gutted for the spring? Might be an idea to borrow it & get an opinion from someone in the know. confused
