I have read and researched this forum about shock upgrades. Got on eBay and have an opportunity to get either a Kantana or R6 shock for $65 shipped. I'm 6' and 300+ lbs. Any recommendations?

The r6 gives you more adjustability but you would most Definetly need to upgrade your spring, for you a better bolt on and go option might be the katana
So slips, should I get the Katana one as well? I am same size? well 250lbs

thanks, but the $50 shipping is a bit much for me to swallow. i am still watching a few.
So you'll borrow my expert help installing it?
That $50 shipping is for Australia. Free shipping in US

Oh, OK..........was confused looking at it on the Au site......
i'm selling a slightly more roughed up r6 shock, doesn't have the sleeve and bolt, but i'll do $60 shipped.
Here's a pic. Again, I have everything here except the sleeve w/ bolt:

yeah, that is why I am looking for one that comes with the linkage. The total for the bolt, nut, washers, and the sleeve was around $35 shipped from Bikebandit.......
any idea if you could find this bolt at a hardware store???
It's a specialty ally hollow bolt. Best to get the Yamaha parts.
Turns out i do have the collar and a nut for the bolt, but no bolt. A washer can be bought for cents at the hardware store, which leaves $17 shipped for the bolt from bike bandit. I'll ask $55 for it. So $55+$17=$72, I paid $82 shipped. Slight discount.
