My 1986 VF500F revival

Where are you sourcing the shock? I need a shock but just don't want to fork over a lot of dough for this old bike.

 

Theres a US distributor site and a few ebay listings

Are you happy with it? Std. spring, etc.?

 

Very!
Beautiful shock, nice construction and huge improvement over stock
Plus it is adjustable… ride height

That's a good idea.

 

Give it a shot
Takes a couple of weeks to arrive
They come from Italy
Well, the ones I bought

I keep hoping I'll run across one of the CBR shocks that was modified, or some less expensive alternative. Don't think it's going to happen.

 

I'm only really hesitant because this would be the single most expensive thing I've purchased on eBay.

It better fit lol

I have a cbrf3 shock on my vf1000f
Works great
Daugherty did it for me about 10 years ago

I contacted DMr. He doesn't do the modified CBR shocks anymore. Just has his own line and they are like $800

Captain 80’s is a wealth of info on the YSS shocks … he helped me plenty on my purchases…

I asked him about those on a FB group, stated that was 'a temp. solution while we finished development of BD40 shocks'.

 

Yeah I've heard. That's why I went to him first.

Thrn I heard about the YSS.

Can't stand the Whoosh when I sit and can't be helping the handling at all right now.
