Just thought I would add. That I put a 900lb Eibach spring on mine for $65 off fleabay. The guys from Honda forum said the stock spring is 780lb. And that the 900 is about max for stock valving. And different colors are same spring.

Just to get my ducks in a row:

I've got a 91 fj1200

For the shock mod I need the following items in total:

1)   Qty 1 - 06 Honda Cbr f4i Shock.
2)   Qty 2 - 10mm spacers (for top)
3)   Qty 2 - 18mm x 24mm x 12mm needle bearings (for bottom)
4)   Qty 2 - 18mm x 24mm x 4mm seals (for bottom)

if so...ebay here i come :-)

thanks all.

or alternately has anyone ever tested/seen/tried one of the chinese variations of the shock?

seems too easy almost. unless its a very bad decision....

That would be a complete waste of money. Those are intended to go on the back of Chinese scooters and motorcycles. There are plenty of options outlined here on the forum.

So in order to keep the ride height relationships and allow the rear wheel to clear the ground properly on the center stand, has anyone taken the F4i shock appart and made a 15mm top out stop spacer for it?
This seems to be a better way to go even though it requires a bit more work. Then use the pre load, sag and damping adjustments to get the turn it better rather than jacking up the rear of the bike.

I'm very interested in this shock-mod, the shock on my FJ is an airpump at the moment.
Does anyone has pictures how this shock is mounted on a 93?
