I may be wrong but I believe you need a gen1 shock. Gen2,3 or 4 may not fit.

Someone may need to overnight a bigger hammer.

Gen 3 Shock into a Gen 1 seems to be a pretty common swap.

George s shock arrived this morning and had it installed by 10.45. Slipped right on. Youre a legend George.

Note to self: All FJR rear shocks are the same and will fit all Gen's. My bad,

Signing out,
