Hi, I am look for a pair of rear shocks in good condition for a GPZ1100B2.

Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,I’ve got a new old stock set of gpz1100 b1 shocks ,they’re pristine still in they’re original boxes.They are basically same shocks as b2 model except the top cap is chrome not black and springs are black not red,so wouldn’t be difficult to alter or use as is.They are a very rare nos part to find I’d sell for £400 plus postage if you’re interested I’ll dig them out and post some pictures.Regards Dave.

Something to take into account between the shockss, although physically the same the damping rates and adjustment range were changed between the B1 and B2 models. Preload adjustment and damping rates were improved and give a firmer ( sportier ) ride.

Thanks for the offer for the B1 shocks, but I will see if I can get the B2 shocks, there are a number of difference

No worries,educated me about the differences

Bit of history and specs about these at https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model ... p%2081.htm.

So far I know is main difference the red springs and black housings.
Whatever: think to Z1000R piggyback shocks.
These will fit on a B2, are a bit harder and make a more value impression...
IMHO
