This article will demonstrate some of the modifications necessary to install a Fox shock with a piggyback reservoir design (the oil reservoir is attached to the top of the shock). The process should be similar with other shocks. ([[Shocks from other bikes|See here]] for instructions on the ZX600 shock). Fewer mods will likely be necessary if you can get a Fox with a remote reservoir.

This shock is a Fox TC-R from a '99 GSXR750. Right picture shows both shocks. OEM is the wimpy-looking one.
