Title: will this fit?
Post by: 007brendan on August 16, 2010, 12:35:41 AM
Looking to upgrade the rear shock to a Kat 600 or 750.  Saw this on ebay, wondering if it would fit?

Looks like it might...lemme go measure the eye-to-eye distance of my spare stocker...

The stock shock length is 11 3/8" which is pretty darn close to the 11 1/2" the seller claims.  Just by eye, I bet it would go in pretty easy.  The eyelet and clevis look about the right size, but hard to tell...they may take a larger bolt than the older stuff and may be a bit wider too.
