Looking for spring and rear shock

Hey all!
Was wondering if anyone on here had front springs laying around (progressive, racetech or sonic) that would be good for a 150lb rider (I'm thinking 0.85).
Also, I'm looking for a rear katana shock to put in my gs (or any good rear shock).

I have both for sale, though the springs are part of a complete front end. The emulators are a huge upgrade over springs alone - springs will help fix the bottoming out problems you're having. Emulators help control the springs, making the bike feel a little more plush over hard bumps, and firmer under braking.

I ordered some front springs yesterday so I am now good with that.
But I am looking for a rear katana 600 shock now.  I see the one you have is for a 750, any differences?

750 shock is a much better design - it uses a nitrogen/oil separated design, with the compression damping in the remote reservoir. The spring is slightly stiffer than the Kat 750 shock. On the downside, it's a little wider than the Kat 600 spring, and it can have clearance issues with the GS500 swingarm.
