ZX9R conversion

[Paul Heim]

One of the ZX9R shocks fits the GPz if you make a hole in the battery box. A heavier spring has to be installed on the shock absorber. I used 550 pounds per inch from hypercoils. You can also have a gold valve installed but I didn't do that. The shock absorber has compression and rebound damping but setting preload is a nuisance. You also have to find a place to mount the remote reservoir. I don't have any photos but I believe Steve Northrup posted some a few years ago.
