2007 4c8 rear shock to a 2005 5vy?

Question

Hi – Has anybody fitted a 2007 4c8 rear shock to a 2005 5vy? I had a shim sent to me some time ago by a guy on here who made a few up for when he converted his but I wanted to know how much work is required to swap it out. Cheers

    It can be done that’s what the shim is for and u can fit the shim on your bike without the 4c8 if I remember correctly

    A fully setup and adjusted 5VY shock would work the same. The forks are the same story, no point in switching to 4c8

    All the shim is a stock r6 shim

    And the 4c8 Shock is a direct bolt in. The shim isn’t needed

    I was the guy that had the shims and I’ve done the swap, the 4c8 shock spring is stiffer and in has more adjustment
