Description

F800GS Shock Bolt Kit
Designed specifically for BMW F800GS and F800GS-A models (all years), this F800GS shock bolt kit helps riders avoid or address the common issue of bent upper shock bolts under demanding off-road conditions. By upgrading to a hardened F800GS shock bolt, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of damage to your bike’s suspension and frame.

Kit Contents

  • 12x120mm Upper F800GS Shock Bolt (Grade 12.9, Black Oxide Finish)
  • 3 mm Thick Washer for proper spacing

Key Features

  • Stronger Than OEM
    • Replaces the original Grade 10.5 bolt with a hardened Grade 12.9 shock bolt, greatly minimizing bending.
  • Proper Fit
    • The 3 mm washer ensures correct torque and spacing before the shock bolt shoulder meets the round “nut.”
  • Improved Durability
    • Withstands heavy off-road loads that commonly bend or damage a standard F800GS shock bolt.

Installation Instructions

  1. Upper Bolt
    • Place the 3 mm washer on the F800GS shock bolt before installation.
    • Lightly grease the washer and bolt head for accurate torque (do not grease threads).
    • Torque the F800GS shock bolt to 100 Nm for a secure fit.
  2. Lower Bolt (OEM Recommended)
    • BMW’s lower bolt has a unique head diameter; retain or replace it with OEM only.
    • If reusing the OEM bolt, lightly grease the shaft (not the threads) and apply high-strength threadlocker (e.g., red Loctite).
    • Torque the lower bolt to 100 Nm.

Additional Support

  • Shock Support Bracket
    • Combine this shock bolt kit with a shock support bracket for maximum reinforcement, strengthening the upper mount by over 70%.
  • Disclaimer
    • BestRest Products assumes no liability for modifications to your motorcycle’s suspension components. The shock bolt upgrade is the best option until BMW revises its design.

Why Upgrade?

  • A bent shock bolt can lead to severe, costly frame damage.
  • Installing a hardened shock bolt alone improves mounting strength by roughly 25%.
  • Pairing the bracket and shock bolt delivers even greater protection, giving you peace of mind during rugged off-road adventures.
