XV920 Cafe Racer Build (Episode 3, rear shock swap)

Replacing the old stock shop on my Virago XV920 cafe racer with a newer R6 shock. I used an adapter purchased from destijlmoto which made the install very easy. just press out the rear bushing, press in the new spacers an install. I found this shock used on eBay.

Thats very nice explanation, do you have the measurements for that adapter by any chance?

[@colorado.e9x]

Does your shock have side to side play within the adapter?

No. It is in there very snug. It took a little effort just to line up the holes cause of the tight tolerance.

THANKS for this! Was wondering what i was gonna do with my stock shock, it's shot.
