There are 4 different Katana shocks that fit the GS. Which one are you using?

Newest Katana 750 shock has a remote reservoir, and a threaded pre-load adjuster. Older 750 shock had some sort of nipple. 600s I'm not sure about. Look at pictures on ebay, and let us know what looks most like the shock on your bike.
