So, it works great, it scary bad, its mediocre. what is the real story. Also what about a similar shock from a CBR600f3 or anything else for that matter.

Better than stock: stiffer, higher ride height. But the damping rates are way off, so it's far from perfect. Worth a hundred or so bucks? Sure. But an aftermarket Hawk shock will be superior.I'll think I'll go for a life of sin followed by a last minute, presto-change-o deathbed repentance. -B. Simpson

I installed the 900RR shock for the specific reason of a higher rear ride height (monster seat conversion). I had an Eibach installed which made a ride difference between the swap of the Hawk spring on to the CBR shock. It still rides a little stiff, but it is a cheaper alternative if you want height with semi-aggresive street riding. Playing with the adjusters does seem to make a little of a difference. I have no track here for racing, so for me I see no need for the more expensive shock.1986 Honda NS400R
