Jack up kits?

[BenR]

Hi all! Is there a jack up kit available for the suzuki RG125? Could I make one? Or would another one fit? I know the RGs use the same rear shock & swingarm as the GS500e.

sv650 shock install

by hmmmnz

to do this mod. you'll need a few basic tools, a socket set/spanners a drill and a 10mm drill bit and a hack saw you'll also need the sv650 shock (you have to use the yellow type not the later model white coloured shock)

step 1. put your bike on its center stand,

step 2. remove your old gs shock, by unbolting the top and bottom bolts. (the back wheel will come down when either bolt is removed)

step 3. lift the gs shock up and out of the side of the frame.

step 4. now comes the fun part.... cutting and redrilling the sv650 shock so it will fit on the gs. (cut and drill on the yellow lines on the picture below)(ignore the yellow line at the base of the spring, that doesn't need to be cut)

step 5. install your nice yellow shock, by sliding the shock through the side of the frame and down.

step 6. bolt every thing up. you will have to lift the back wheel/swingarm up to get the top bolt to match up. you can do this with a peice of wood or by rocking the bike backwards.

now we have a nice yellow shock mounted to the gs giving us far better handling and a couple of extra inches of height at the rear.

sorry i don't have a before picture

the only issues with this mod apart from the drilling and cutting, is the fact that your center stand isnt long enough(it is but both your wheels will be touching the ground when its down) and your side stand is a little short as well, but it still works fine the bike just leans over a little.

right get modding
