I want to replace the rear shock on my 500F and read on wikipedia that the katana 600 is a direct bolt on replacement... does it matter what katana 600 shock i get?

Anyway to delete these threads? I should have done a search first.....

Nope, it will forever remain to act as a pillar of your ignorance and stupidity for all eternity...

It shall be bumped to the top of the forum list daily as a reminder of how much of a noob you are...

In fact, we should re-name this post "Epic Fail"... due to your failure on an epic scale.


Whatever, lol.

you're going to fit in just fine

600 and 750 kat ones fit all GS'es. If they dont fit, take your linkage and shave it where it hits the shock body. I better put pics up of this ... and if you buy from me, I make sure you get everything you need to fit ... even if it be on a swap basis. Sometimes I have to sell stuff slow cos stuff isn't back from someone else.

GSXR shocks - same thing, if not fit, shave linkage ... do not touch the shock. Its not an exact science, the shocks have seriously wide tolerances, so do linkages. your goal is to make sure its going to live comfortable in your bike ... This is especially critical with GSXR shocks, they have a plastic dial in the clevise. hit that with your linkage and its lights out for rebound adjustments.

Cool.

I actually just picked up a 99' GSX750 shock on e-bay for 50 bucks. The SV650 shock w/linkage lowering is WAY too soupy even on the highest setting, so I bit the bullet.

What's cool though is that the 750 shock has the dampening adjustment as well as pre-load. And it looks as though the reservoir will mount slick under the battery box for easy access.

The remote reservoir kat shocks are great, but I thought they also had compression ?
On the reservoir line ...
sv shock actually does not fit the GS and its no gain, the more adjustments the better IMHO.

Bluesmudge - sorry, but your problem isn't what I was referring to here. I was talking about linkages etc I swap with gstwinners. Not powdercoaters delays. That's a separate issue to e apologized on a separate thread ... 

Cool.

I'll have to take a look when I get it. I know it has pre-load on the spring adjuster and I definitely saw an adjustment screw on the end of the reservoir for dampening...

You would know more than I would! Lol.
