How stock were these?

My 87 700f2 has a kerker swing arm and fox rear adjustable suspension. Were these stock back in the day? I know the previous owner did some changes seeing as how it has a 4-2-1 set-up w/open race can and a CBR r/r, but I'm still trying to piece together this bikes history ala CSI. Some crimes just shouldn't go unpunished.:hangme:

 

Got any pics?

 

I'll load some tonight.

 

I've only heard of Kerker from the pipe business, not swing arm. I'm curious for pictures to. Fox shock replacement was fairly common on the first couple generations.

 

Was just going to say the same thing Kerker didn't have anything to do with swing arms, but exhaust yes. and yep Fox was the shock to have back in the day if you wanted top notch.

 

I remember lots of Kerker (and other) stickers on swing arms. There wasn't anywhere else to put them...

 

Thats probably what this is, but it's extremely well placed and perfectly even. If anyone knows anything about this ride adjuster I'd appreciate any assist on what does what.


Woops photo's didn't stick. Trying again.

Looks like a stock swingarm to me. The decals were probably put on by someone a bit more meticulous than you...

The knob you see on the reservoir is your compression adjustment.

 

If you go here both the manual and rebuild instructions are available for download.

That is a Kerker decal, I have the same style on my rh fairing. Its coming off this weekend.

 

Thanks fellas; figured it was so.

 

definitely an aftermarket exhaust and rear shock, but that swingarm is 100% stock. take some more pics around the bike and post them up, maybe there are more little artermarket toys on the bike you might not even know about yet.

and btw, thats a NICE example of a RWB 750!

 

i need a rear shock replacement. anyone got the measurements eye to eye? gonna look and see if any newer bike shocks might help.

 

87 is 280mm eye to eye, 86 diffrent length. a Short shock.
