R6 install Bushing kit

[Falkon45]

Hey everyone!

So, I just installed my R6 shock a couple days ago. I have a question about the bushing kit. When I ordered it, it said I needed a kit for the top and the bottom bolt. But, when I installed the shock, I only needed the bushing for the bottom bolt. Did anyone else run into this, or did I get a different year shock? Basically, the bottom of the R6 shock had a bigger bolt, and the top used a pin with a cotter pin to keep it in place.

Either way, the install went well, except for having a hard time getting the shims to fit.

Just the bottom is all I needed with mine.

You only need the 12mm to 10mm reduction reduction bushings on the bottom. The shock bottom is also slightly narrower than the OEM shock, so there are the two bushings for the side play as well. So, the kit is 2 15mm reduction bushings and 2 side play bushings.

Okay. I ended up with 4 bushings in my order. So, if anyone needs some, I have them available. Lol.

side bushings or center ones? I'd take a set of side ones, if the price is right.

Center bushings. I only had one set of the side ones.
