Hello

Bought the kayla R6 adapter to fit a new shock on my TRX. What a have read that a R6 2006 shock with fork at the bottom will work. But is it only 06/07 who will fit os is the newer ones also fit?

Thanks for the help. Had also bought R6 calipers som this will be a nice fit.

The reason you use an 06-07 rear shock is because the shock absorber stroke matches the trx where the 08 rear shock will bolt on but has less stroke so you end up reducing your rear wheel travel from 130mm to 122mm.

The R6 Shock with the tuneing fork lower is the one to use with the shock adapter,..ive used the R6 and adapter myself and found no problems, but then I'm 67 kilos.
Ive heard of ZX10 shocks used too.
Not sure of what other shocks will fit your projection adapter as is your question.
