So, what's your experience so far? I'm still intending to fit a lighter spring for my weight but those aren't cheap, I'm happy with the base. Took her a few days into the mountains in Germany, the rear is firm but very manageable, no pogo stick!

It is this thread; https://www.rc390-forum.com/threads/shock-swap-with-99-02-r6.447/ It's a large thread but it will cover all your questions and more. If I remember correctly the R6 will fit with some bushings, some made it themselves, some used a Suzuki (?) part number that matched the...

So, now, for the results....I've driven about 800 km (500 miles for the imperial users) so far with this shock. And I'm really happy with it. It's firm, and the stock Ducati spring seems to be too stiff for my weight (80kg with gear) but it feels like a huge improvement. Hard to tell through...

With the shock apart and not seeing any signs of trouble or wear I focused on the most important issue...The only thing holding me back on fitting is this shock is the width of the rebound adjuster between the swingwarm. So, I clamped the lower clevis down in a vice and started filing. Whenever...

Other than this minor flaw, it seems to fit. Obviously the rebound adjuster is hitting on the swingarm flanges. The only way fitting it was placing some M8 rod through the swingarm flanges allowing for a slight 2 mm off-set fitment. Still, well pleased, the upper eye seemed fine and no part of...

So, there's been a great deal of information on the swap of 2nd Gen R6 shocks onto 390's in this community and it all seems to have started with @Formula390's input. This whole thread has been nothing but informative for which I'd like to thank all of you. Since Formula390 started this swap...

First post on the forums. Last year while looking at big allroad bikes I stumbled across a Husqvarna 401 Vitpilen, a small naked based on the 390, sharing the frame and engine...well, sharing everything except the fairings basically. It's a completely useless bike. It won't take luggage, hell...
