Replacing monoshock on VFR800 A5 with different shock

Hello,

This is my first time positing and I've searched on here for this question and can't really find it.

I'm replacing my worn out rear shock on my 2005 Honda VFR800 VTEC A5 and I've been given a YSS Shock MZ506-320TRL (which fits a VFR750 RC36). The YSS Shock that fits the Honda on their webpage is the MZ506-320TR.

So looking at the part numbers, which I presume are measurements, refer to the diameter etc (and they're the same)...and I'm assuming that the 'L' in the one that I've got refers to LONG.

I'm just wondering if the diameter is the same, and the connections are the same, what will happen if I replace my old one with this new one? Has anyone tried this?

Many thanks for your help!

 

You might try call yss and see what they can tell you about the differences in the part numbers as far as dimensions and such.
