Hi guys, just thought someone may be interested in what i fitted to my 907ie.

The standard shock was rebuilt but the rebound faded out after a short period which was the original problem. I was warned that rebuilds on these are not always successful.

I purchased a new rear shock (marzocchi) from ebay for a 750/906. Prior to buying it i asked for the dimensions and compaired it to my original.
The hole centers were the same so i thought i`d give it a try on the 907. Here are some pitures.











I had to wind the preload down about 10mm using the lock nuts to set the ride height after i noticed the tyre had rubbed a bit on the plastic under guard with a pillion, that was with the extra preload wound up from the remote adjuster as well (backed right off when solo though).
The shock fells good now i think i have it sorted out. It doesn`t have compression damping only rebound at the base.

Sorry stuffed up pitures. Working on problem. Re-reading instructions...Der!

done. [img] at the beginning and the end of the links was double that`s why they didn`t work

Do you normally see the pictures in the preview screen? Or just the link?

Take two..............

Nice...how hard was it making up a bracket for the preload adjuster? It didn't just bolt on, did it?

Sam

that seems the old marzocchi unit fitted on the PASO 750.

I got one of those, it is basically the same as the 907 one (overall dimentions), the only big difference is that the spring is different, the 907 one is 2 times harder; then the internal setup will match the harder spring, however I was told it could work also as it is.

whats the going rate ie price for one of these and ann original for a 906?

Hi, yes i agree the spring may be a bit soft. It doesn`t seem to be an issue solo though. I will be trying source a harder one i think. The original spring won`t fit as it is shorter.

The Bracket i made for the remote adjuster was fitted using the 2 bolts holding the rear brake master cylinder.

I paid roughly $150AU for it.

PS, I don`t understand? I couldn`t get the pictures to work in the first thread, now they are there? Sorry poeple that you have to look at them twice...............
