Hello youll need a mounting for the top shock mount. Most people weld a flat bar from one side
Of the frame to the other. And an easy way for the bottom is to stiffen up the main stand mounting points :-0 i have a gsxr top shock mount spare £20 posted to uk. Its like a lump of alloy i will post a pic in a sec

Got two of these if anyone else wants one. Also have a couple of bandit 600 / 1200 shocks

Thanks for replying FB!
Should have mentioned that Effy has been played with before. One of its previous owners has fitted a different shock linkage using the standard rear shock and what looks like an old Slab side swing arm. Will post up some pics later.
So, in theory would s later Gix11 L or M arm bolt straight in?

Lol,
Yeah I know they have as standard a full floater system but was wondering if any of the Gix11 swinger will need machining or just spacers needed.
