[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1295509, member: 238"] @Maj Tech Day is Saturday, May 14th, pinned thread is in the PNW section. While KFG is an option, you can purchase a Penske shock at a variety of on-line retailers. Google is your friend. Check out this link for the [URL="https://shop.penskeshocks.com/PENSKE-RACING-SHOCKS-8983-REMOTE-PIGGY-BACK-DOUBLE-ADJUSTABLE/"]Penske[/URL] website for specific information for your questions. In the couple times I contacted Penske directly, I found the Techs knowledgeable and extremely helpful. [URL="https://www.traxxion.com/Sport-Adventure-Touring-Rear-Suspension-Related/"]Traxxion[/URL] is another Penske supplier and suspension shop that is well regarded.[URL="https://www.stoltecmoto.com/shop/fz-09/14-fz-09-penske-8983-double-clicker/"] Stoltec Moto[/URL] does a lot of work with Tenere's and FZ-09s so you'd have to contact them directly regarding an FJR shock. A 8983 Penske for the FJR will have a remote reservoir. Whoever you order it from (Penske) will supply the proper top mount spacers and lower mount shackle. Spring rate is determined by what you tell Penske via the vendor. For a one-up normal weight rider, FJRs typically run 6" X 850# spring. I have one of those plus a 6" X 950# spring I swap for loaded two-up riding. More questions? --G [/QUOTE]
