After reading this forum for a while, I did not find a budget solution to the harsh rear suspension on my '96 Adventurer. I couldn't see dropping $6-700 for a shock for an 11 year old bike so I took matters into my own hands. I shopped E-bay for a while, looking for a shock that I though would be at least close to what I needed. I purchased a rear shock from a 1994 ZX7 (with linkage!) for $10.00. It has no nitrogen reservoir but it has adjustable rebound damping and it was about 1/2" longer than my stock shock. Guess what? It drops right in with no modifications required what so ever! The bolt holes are the correct size. The clevis width is perfect. And the top eye width is the same as well. I just put it in (that took all of 20 minutes) and took the bike for a spin. Whoo Hoo! The harshness is gone!
The Kawasaki shock is nitrogen charged and is fully rebuildable (unlike the OEM Triumph unit). The spring rate feels fine, with room to adjust preload in either direction.
So...Start Shopping!
