Title: ST2 shock on a monster? Post by: cduarte on August 30, 2009, 12:30:26 PM I just got a great deal on a showa shock from an early st2, it looks like this will bolt right on to my 695 monster, it has the remote reservoir. As I am kind of on the heavy side, I imagine that the spring rate will be ok. Has anyone else done this?

Post by: cduarte on September 03, 2009, 01:48:36 PM well, I got the shock in yesterday, got it mounted up, and took the bike out for a spin.... what a difference, the bike feels much more planted and the S4 forks work quite well with the ST2 shock, it feels like a different bike, the handling is greatly improved. ;D
just want to add a pic of the bike with the shock installed... btw, mods so far include: S4 forks ST2 shock SIL Titanium Exhaust FatDuc mods to come: 320 mm rotors and 4-pot calipers 748 Master Cylinder Flyscreen (http://home.comcast.net/~c.duarte/monster695a.jpg) |
