I just purchased a Katana shock of a 2003 from ebay and I need a link to install, I'm sure someone has written one up. Thanks!

Yea kat6/7, RF900, older (88 - 95 ) GSXR 750 90-99 GSXR 1100, bandit 1200
All good upgrades ... GSXR's are pretty much like a super upgrade and over kill for the street.
Cool.

Remember to support the bike under the frame and not the swing arm.Find the bolts at the ends of the shock.Remove the top bolt,then the bottom.Pull it out the bottom and install the new shock the reverse order.Here are a couple links for other shocks.
