Got mine in on saturday and the bike is soooo much better. The ride was firm and comfortable, that cheap feeling coming up through the forks is gone forever. I used to think stuff like rebound was a total crock but now i am converted. I hail gstwin with my busted knuckels!!!!!
I highly reccomend this upgrade. :cheers:
I was also a skeptic until I put on my Katana shock. I highly recommend the shock along with the fork springs :thumb:
Go for the trifecta, new tires too! :lol:
I really like how the bike is after changing the suspension. My front forks might be a little too stiff, but I think they have broken in a little over time :) Much more confidence going through turns!
Best $100 or so you can spend on your GS :thumb:
i am about to do excately what you did to my '92 gs. i got the progressive springs in the mail yesterday. now i need to get a shock. i dont want to do any modification i.e. gringing, cutting, rigging, to my gs either. did your shock bolt right in? what year/type bike do i need to get a shock from to do the swap with no mods? i'm pretty apprehensive about buying a shock that i potentially will not use.
i got some time to find a shock that is just right. right now i dont even have my bike. it has been at the shop for the past 2 and a half weeks. i'm freakin out man, i need to ride!!! it will be sweet when i get her back. i cant wait. they are doing a ton of stuff to it so i guess i understand. :( thanks people!
i scored a 2002 katana 600 shock off ebay. Direct bolt in with no real difficulty other than breaking torque on the bolts. > breaker bar. :cheers:
I did the spings and tires move and the difference is like nite and day.....now being day that is.... :cheers:
