Rear shock - Compatability

Post by 03raptorincalifornia »

I'm at work, saw this Husqvarna Rear shock, seller mentions it should fit Cagiva... Anyone can confirm? I don't have my bike to measure and a little busy here. If this is a fit, this is by far the best deal I've seen for just $420 USD!

I'm 99% sure it doesnt fit...
Couple of things, first looks way too long, secondly low mount wrong shape, thirdly it has piggyback.

Maybe a Cagiva offroad like the Elefant but a raptor?

I believe 98 fireblade shock will fit or the Aprilia falco.
Might be able to find a bargain fireblade race shock, say Ohlins, but it will still need a different spring and probably need to be serviced.

I'm just going to save my pennies for a Nitron 2 way.
yeah!

Piggy back is the deal breaker, so I bought a Nitron. Yeah!

does anyone know which rear dampers are definitely compatible? An Aprilia Falco unit is supposed to fit but would be good to see someone confirm on here - I tried a search but possibly used wrong terms.

The Falco shock fits with a little bit of grinding the top. Just a couple of mm. Works beter than the original shock.
