According to pantablos website, it will. I just bought mine off ebay and am awaiting arrival. Taking a long time too.  :dunno:

That's because you're in Canada.  Don't be surprised if you're waiting a few more weeks.  My wife ebays with people in Canada and sometimes it takes almost a month to send/get things to/from there.

I have a Katana shock and it's a lot stiffer.  Set it at 2 or 3 because 5 is just too stiff.  Riding two up we used to bottom out all the time, now we never do.  The bike will sit 1/2 to 1 inch higher at the kick stand allowing it to lean a bit more.  That one seems a bit dirty and older.  You could wait for a better one.  I got an '02 in perfect condition for $9.99 plus $12 shipping.

Yeah, its been 2 weeks since i bought it. I didnt leave any feedback yet. I should just wait and see. This is my first ebay purchase, and if it takes this long everytime, it kinda sucks. Espeacially the price you pay for shipping. I ordered something from clear alternatives 2 days AFTER i bought the shock, and i received it 2 days ago. Shipping was 5$!!!. So i dont know, i am getting frustrated.

Yes, a direct bolt on.

Yes, the centerstand is still usable, if you have a 130/70 tire, any tire bigger than that probably not. When I put my bike on the centerstand with the katana shock, there is only a couple of mm between the ground and tire.

Hmmm... I have an '02 and when I put in the '02 Katana shock I really can't tell much difference.  I still have plenty of room under the tire.

[Frost]

is it hard to find "new" used parts?

should i just bid on this one?...is it worht 25 bucks?

shipping is actually not THAT bad...estimated 8lb will be around 19US to ship to canada

That is a nice looking one. I just bought a kat shock off ebay for $5 but didn't look as new and shiny.

[Frost]

is it worth the 25 bucks though?

[Kee]

Unless you are really eager, you may just want to hold off for more options. When I bid on mine last week, there were about 8 others listed. Most of them hadn't recieved bids or were quite a bit more expensive. I just bid on the one that looked the best, out of the cheaper ones. But considering the cost of progressive springs, it seems like it is a deal.

I think mine comes in the mail today and if it is junk, which i doubt it will be, then I would then have to recommend the shiny one you are looking at.

alright thanks...
