Title: Rear shock HELLLLPPPP!!!!
Post by: Bleineke on June 28, 2013, 09:28:03 PM
    Does anyone know if this shock will fit on my 2009 GS500F?  This shock came off a 2006 Katana 750. will it ride the same as a katana 600 shock?

There are a few threads with those being used. I myself used to have one but sold it here a long time ago.

Yea it fits. just is a bit of a hassle getting the reservoir etc located.
Its a improvement over stock ... but a bit overkill for a GS unless you weight like 400 lb.
Cool.
