2014 SHOWA shock on 2008 fireblade

hi all did any one knows if 2014 showa will go in to 2008 fireblade with out any modifications needed?many thanks

 

Yes will fit, the Showa shock is still limited,howeva it can be made better for very little money and I would recommend you have it re sprung for your weight, MAXTON suspension carried out the modification and re spring for a member on here and highly recommended the changes.

 

thanks for that il think i gave it a go as it is and see whats the difrend

 

Get down to mct ur close to them. Well recommended by me mate

 

Good upgrade apparantely, Richard at maxton suggested i find and fit one as its a lot better than the pre 2012 standard shock, i found one in the states off e'bay £50 and £50 delivered so £100 al in, bargain yea ! it turned up bent as a banana so had to bite the bullet and get a maxton rear shock, worked out alright tho, the yankey fella reinbursed every penny and i couldn't be happier with my suspension now.
But yes its worth speaking to richard up maxton, he won't try sell you something you don't need and from memory i think it was only £100ish to get the showa re'sprung and dyno'd

 

sound goo that i have a brand spanker waiting for me to fit but been a light weight 101kg it might need a bit of work

 

I fitted one to my 2008 track bike after having it Revavled by Ktech........ along with some 2012 front forks..... a cheap upgrade without spending loads of loot........and its transformed the handling of mine......

 

Yes it goes straight on. I put a Showa one on my 09 blade. I did however, cut a piece out of my rear hugger.

 

K Tech revalved your 2012 em shock ?

 

Put one on mine (Well Kais did after Padgets supplied it) from Bruce Ansty's bike I think it was - made a real difference.

 

it only cost me 85 pounds delivered from america so i think i cant go wrong with that thanks for yours opinions guys and i think i will get it respringed as im 115 kg fully kited
