Yes it will fit but it also hits the lever when the suspension is topped out, Not a good thing.

The spring is still the same rate as stock so no improvement there and the valving is better than a stock kat but still not correct. It is not rebuildable in the form it is in now but can be rebuilt by a decent suspension shop.

I would suggest a 08+ R6 shock as it fits without any issues and has more adjustability.

I've been wondering about the r6 for a while T, does it lower the rear end?

Yep it will lower it about 3/4"~1"

I read that there are different types of r6 shocks, is this the correct one?

[cintidude04]

Ok thats the opposite of what I like T

Yeah, I really would prefer something higher. That's why I originally was looking at the bandit 1200 shock because it raises the rear end 2"

Nope you need this one.

I would not suggest buying that one as it is very expensive and the guy it just ripping someone off, Usually you can get them for about $30.00 or less.

You are free to do whatever you like but I will not recommend the Bandit 1200 shock without modifying it a bit. It needs internal spacers to work correctly.

Where are you located kazahara?

Hey, TMOD sorry to hijack this thread but I have read and read and read all the many threads here about rear shocks. I have a 88 Kat1100 and there really never seems to be info specific to them, it's always about 600 & 750's. My '88 has 36k and is a little weak in the rear suspension area riding two up. My wife and I combined come up to about 320lbs. Will the R6 shock be the right choice or something else.

why not PM him?
