KR1 B2 Rear Shock replacement

Post by Shepster »

Hi all,

I'm not had any success searching for an answer to a question I have. A friend of mine has a TZR250 3MA and replaced the rear shock with a '06 h***a CBR1000RR shock. It just popped right in.

Does anyone know if I can do a similar trick on my '89 KR-1 B2? And if so what mystical beast has a suitable shock that will bolt on with no modification?

Problem is a KR1 uses a very short rrear shock, only 275mm. I use one of a Laverda 650/668.

do a search on "the Laverda conversion" and there I explain how, and what other shocks that might be used.
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !
