All about shock absorbers
Which mono shock fits my motorcycle? A mono shock is a single rear shock, often under or behind the tank or in the middle of the swingarm. Pick your make, model and year in the bike selector and you only see the shocks that fit. The range is mostly for BMW right now.
There are almost 180 mono shocks from YSS and Hagon, with lengths from about 300 to 485 mm. They cover the BMW K75, K100 and K1100, the R models with Monolever or Paralever and later models such as the R1100 and R1150, among others. A good part is length adjustable.
Measure length from the centre of one mounting eye to the centre of the other, preferably on the shock that is on the bike now. Also check the top and bottom mounts, as they differ per model. Many mono shocks come in several finishes.
About ABE: a good part of the mono shocks has an ABE, often with a KBA number and sometimes confirmed for your model. Custom builds are assessed by TÜV without a model specific ABE. If nothing is shown, the status is not confirmed yet.
Frequently asked questions
Which mono shock fits my motorcycle?
Pick your make, model and year in the bike selector. You then only see the mono shocks listed for your bike. If your bike is not there, ask us before you order.
How do I measure the length of a mono shock?
Measure from the centre of the top eye to the centre of the bottom eye, preferably on the shock that is on the bike now. An adjustable mono shock has a range, and your length falls inside it.
What is the difference with twin shocks?
A mono shock is a single shock, twin shocks are a pair. Which one you need depends on your bike's swingarm. A BMW K75 or K100 has one, an R model up to 1985 has two.
Does a mono shock have an ABE?
A good part does, with the KBA number on the product. If that number is confirmed for your model, it says so. Custom builds are assessed by TÜV without a model specific ABE. If nothing is shown, the status is not confirmed.
When should I replace a mono shock?
When it leaks oil, when the bike bottoms out or keeps bouncing, or when damping feels softer than it used to.
