Title: ? on Katana rear shock
Post by: 505 on June 12, 2008, 10:39:52 AM
im lookin at some rear shocks on ebay and i was just wondering what would be better for the gs....an 01 katana750 shock w/reservoir or an 05 Can-O-Tuna 600 rear shock?  pretty sure either one would fit right? which one is better?

I'd think the 750, cause I'm pretty sure it's the same as the 600, but with the reservoir.  Don't know for sure though, so wait for someone else to respond.  I have the katana 600 shock and it's worlds of difference compared to the stock shock, so either way you choose, you're going to get a ton of improvement.

The 600 without the resvoir.The resvoir is a pain to mount and sometimes ends up getting into the rear tire.

Almost any 600/750 Kat shock will work.
