RF900 shock... A+

[steves]

I installed an RF900 shock on the bandit Sunday afternoon. I like it. I like it alot.... I like it so much that I scraped my center stand on the way home from work yesterday....

Nice . Maybe you should find that shock interchange guide and see about updating it , then . I THINK they were saying something about the RF shock needing a bit of work to get it to fit ..... Oh , and start getting your ass outta the seat !

The kat and bandit frames are different.... the guide also implied that it was going to make my bike about an inch taller... but I'm pretty sure that it's still the same height, and the shocks are the same length.

the kat shock I could pull out from underneath, on the bandit I had to go through the battery box.... but everything else was the same...

RF900 shock

would this work on a 2004 Katana 600?

Theres loads of suzuki shocks that are a direct fit into a bandit & a few that need a little work to get on there, the later model bandit shocks are about an inch longer than the early ones but most of the mid 90's water cooled gsxr shocks are the same apart from having the bottle

& your point is ?

My point is, this was a thread I started about my bandit several years ago,
and the information on what shocks will fit a 2004 kat 600 are in the wiki.

If that's the case, then I would encourage you to go correct the "bad" information.

I did look today, and I only saw two contributions from you. Of the two, one was adding a note that you'd made a change (which shows up on the history page).

I'd encourage you to try it agian.
