GSX 750F KATANA SHOCK??
« on: August 23, 2006, 09:33:16 PM »
Will a GSX750F shock fit the bandit?
i Found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150011124380



I only found on the forum topics for gsxr shocks and as i show the new gsxr shock need some mods to fit. But this looks like the old 92 GSXR 750 shock that fits with no mods.

Thanks in advance.

I bought it, maybe next week i will have it. I hope it will fit nice and easy.
And i hope it will improve bandits handling.

GSX 750F KATANA SHOCK??

Shock is already installed and i can tell you this.
The old shock had lash, i removed the rear wheel and confirmed it.

  I instaleed the new , it is a straight bolt on mod. The only think is that the katana shock is  almost 0.5 cm shorter than the stock , but it is stiffer and the rear sits normal.
  The shock is very stiff and has very fast rebound and hard compresion , and that is because the katana is much heavier than the bandit.Stiffness can be adjusted , but rebound is still to fast for one person.With a second rider i guess it will be just fine.
  The way the bike handles is way better than before. Now i will change the dogbones to raise the tail a little , and i will install some hyperpro front springs that i have from the 600. I had them installed earlier but they seemed to me very stiff , now with the shock the balance will change so i will give them again a try.
   Shock costed 86$ with delivery to US and 25$ extra for being shiped to Greece.

There's a knob at the bottom of the clevis: it's for rebound. The one closest to the cylinder is for compression.
