Ah, had a mate offer me a Showa rear for £50.

Only problem is it is off a 93...

Which makes it an F2, not F3.

What do you guys reckon? At a push I could get it off him, fit it and see without charge. But its a massive ballache for a 'suck it and see' affair.

F2
F3

Fair play, no body seems to care about your post

But to be helpful, a lot of OE supersport rear shocks will fit onto supersport bikes of a similar design, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with the small differences. Any chance you could get an Ohlins shock at a push though?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Ah, so you may know about using other shocks?

I might still be interested, but a mate has offered an almost brand new Showa for 50 quid off his 93. I was certain it wouldn't fit, but I've just seen an ebay ad for a race shock 'to fit 91-98'...

I'm picking the sellers brains about how he knows, but I'd rather go for the race shock if I can.
