Just thought I´d let you gents know that a 2007 Hayabusa rear shock is a perfect fit for the 2008 Suzuki GSX650F. My son does custom engine and chassis work on sport bikes. He had a few shocks laying around from ´Busa´s and ZX10´s. I had been griping about the the rear suspension on my GSX. So he sent me an ´07 Busa shock with 6k miles on it when it was replaced by some real hi-po unit. It went in from the bottom with no problem. There is even a hole in the left side of the frame to run a socket and extension through to take off the top mounting bolt nut. Just drop the dog bones and it goes right in with a little jiggling around. You do have to move a bracket for a relay, but just a little. Bike is totally different animal. Rides better, handles much better in all turns and seems more stable at all speeds. The added adjustment is great, compression adjustment makes a big difference. Later guys, Daveg
