You getting bushings for the clevis with it? Or if ya have someone that does machining they can be made very easily. You will need to reduce the 12mm hole down to 10mm for the kat bolt.

I was gonna take a stab at them myself to see if I could make it work. Out of curiosity, how much would you charge to make me a set?Comment

Well if its that cheap I may as well go with yours instead of rigging something up. Let me know the total price shipped to 85283 and your paypal address.
ThanksComment

Would you recommend this option for a pre 750? If so, does it make sense to get the '08 R6 shock? How about '08 R6S shock? Sorry to hijack this thread.Comment

I have not tried this on a pre 750. If you were going to give it a try, I would go with the 08. Should mount with no mods to the battery box.Originally posted by Phil the Thrill View Post
Well the bike is back together (Damn Deer), the snow is about melted so hopefully I will be able to get back to doing some more testing and comment more on my progress of dialing it it sometime in the next week or so.Always count on hitting pavement twice.

Conventional Kat wisdom is that if it fit the Pre600, the fitment on the Pre750 should be very similar.Originally posted by Phil the Thrill View Post-Steve

Just finished installing it, and it does feel a bit nicer now. No time to really test it out but it seemed ok around the blockComment

Here are some updates. I upped the preload on the 06-07 R6 shock to the max ( I am about 190 ish. Got it dialed in fairly well, then I highsided the bike so been trying to get things sorted out after that. Tonight I swapped in the 08 R6 shock. Here are a few photos of it installed.
Hope to get some good riding in this weekend to do some testing on this one. I will keep ya all posted.Always count on hitting pavement twice. First time from inexperience, the second from thinking you are experienced!

Racetech does have a threaded collar that you use a rod to adjust so it would make it alot easier than using anything else.Originally posted by md86 View PostDamn , preload collar at the top . SUCKS how all decent shocks seem to do that nowadays .

Lowering the front is easy, just support the bike, loosen the triple tree clamps and slide the forks up. Won't get any firmer but it'll lower it a bit.Comment
