Is this the only option for a better rear shock for the canes?

Is there a shock from another year/model of bike that'll fit or be modified to fit?

FOX made a twin clicker model for the CBR600


This one looks just like the one I have on my CBR.
The price tag might make you reconsider. $200 isn't cheap, but most suspensions aren't. I got mine for $80
Fox Twin Clicker 88 92 Oilcooled GSXR 93 GSXR 750 Racing Shock | eBay
Mine has the stock colored red spring on it though, it would probably be best to get a new spring for it

I thougt I read on here that a stock shock from a CBR600F4 bolted in...but was a little short.

That'd make a great replacement option if that's true.

i have a f1 fox twin clicker, needs to be rebuilt though. I took it to a local shop who took it part of that way apart and said he would be able to get one of the caps off and couldnt finish it. I sent pics of of it and jamie daughtry of daughtry motorsports said he could rebuilt it.Its supposed to be super rare and I was planning on rebuilding it myself but i picked up an f4 swing arm so i wont need it.

It rides awesome and is a direct bolt on. It has the clicker on it which lets you change the compression of the oil to make it a softer or harder ride. Other wise I dont know much about it.

Hey Zach, not much help man.

I figured out the shock I bought is a 420 Series Progressive. It should be good on the RR conversion. That bike is going to be too nice to sell...plus I have way too much into it...probably will have to ride it for a while

Worked on the fairings for a bit today getting ready for paint. Waiting for better weather here so I can paint and clean up the frame for powder coating. Things have slowed down a bit.

Is the 420 Series Progressive the same length as the stock shock?
I'm looking for a rear shock for my F1, but options are few and far between.

This shock is an old one made for the Hurricane...I found it on Ebay. Not much out there for F1 but some have said other shocks will fit.

Yeah, slim pickings. Please let me know if you come across another one for sale.
