Which KYBs?

[sidreilley]

I looking at the KYB shocks off the Kaw ZXR to replace my stockers as several folks have done here. Before I post a WTB ad though, I wanted to be sure I get the correct ones. Does it matter which year or model (1100 or 1200) ? Thanks.

They both fit and they are badass

For those searching it should be "ZRX"... it took me a while to figure that out.

 

[sidreilley]

Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll have better luck with ZRX!

Do these fit on a bonneville 2005?

 

[sidreilley]

My understanding is they fit Bonnevilles but are 1" longer (same length as a Thruxton).

Cheers

I had them on my 04 Thruxton. Install easy peasy.

I definitely like the look of the KYBs.... but how do they perform? What's the price point of those babies? Also, are the reservoirs always gold or do they come in different colors? Thanks.

I paid 200 bucks for mine and had them painted black.
