\ Modified Rear Shock
Ask around and you'll find that many VF owners have suffered from rear shock failure. A rebuild doesn't help, and since they cannot be repaired the options are pretty limited. They include 1) getting another used shock and hope it's ok or 2) spend a significant amount of money on an aftermarket replacement shock. While option 2 is temping, even a non-performance based shock will set you back at least $500. You either have to spend the money or take your chances with another stock shock. I have come up with a solution that solves both issues. Late model Honda sportbike shocks performance is well beyond anything you can get from the original shock. They can also be purchased on eBay for $20 or less. Another bonus is they can be rebuilt or upgraded with aftermarket valving if desired. This modification applies to all single rear shock VF models (VF500F, VF700F, VF750F, VF1000F, VF1000R, and also the VF1100 Sabre). Each shock can be tailored to a specific length, most often a little longer to increase rear ride height. The conversion cost includes the modifications necessary to the shock to make it fit and a new spring matched to the riders weight. The conversion can be performed on many models of shock absorbers. Please e-mail to determine the shock that is best for you. Here is list of the most popular:
