Introduced in 2007, the Penske 8983 Double-Adjustable Racing Shock takes performance to a whole new level, replacing both the 8981 and 8986 series shocks, and spanning the gap between them. This shock is, in our opinion, one of the best choices for club racers, trackday participants, and street riders looking for a competition-grade shock at an affordable price. The difference between this and your stock unit will truly amaze you!

The Penske 8983 offers a much finer degree of compression tuning than it's 8981 predecessor, featuring a 16-position click-by-hand low-speed adjuster housed on a remote reservoir assembly. The remote reservoir allows for greatly improved resistance to heat fade over piggyback designs, and can be located to allow for compression adjustments on-the-fly.

All Penske motorcycle shocks, including the 8983, include a 36-click ultra-fine rebound adjuster, a variable-length eyelet for on-the-bike ride-height adjustments, fully threaded shock bodies, and quick turn preload collars. The build quality on all Penske models is superb, as is the performance.

Note - Unlike offerings from some stores, all Penske Racing Shocks sold by Sportbike Solutions are custom built to order, with damping curves and spring rates matched to your weight and riding style.
Each Penske Shock is shipped with it's own dyno sheet, service / instruction manual, and preload adjustment tool.

Penske 8983 shocks are available for the following Yamaha motorcycles: FJ1100, FJ1200, FJR1300, FZ400, FZ600, FZ750, FZ6, FZ1, FZR400, FZR600, FZR750, FZR1000, RZ250R, RZ350, RZ500, RZV500, SRX600, SZR660, TT125, TXZ750, TZ250, TZR250, YZF450R, YZF600, YZF750, YZF1000, YZF-R6, and YZF-R1.

Please choose your body weight (with gear), and general riding riding style. Before your shock is built, we will contact you to confirm this information in order to best meet your needs. Also, be sure to include your motorcycle make, model, and year in the 'additional comments' section during checkout. As each shock is custom built, no returns are accepted unless due to a manufacturing defect or build error. Average build time runs between 1-3 weeks.
