Title: will a rear Showa shock from a 97 900ss fit a 99 900ss? Post by: Jordan on May 18, 2008, 10:01:21 AM Should right? I know some stuff changed from pre 98 to post 99.

I remember this because I tried to install a showa rear off a '96 SS on my '94 and found that the resevoir angled into towards the motor, which meant the vertical cylinder exhaust pipe was in the way. :( -dj Title: Re: will a rear Showa shock from a 97 900ss fit a 99 900ss?

Apologies for missing that point. I just remember how frustrated I was (and stupid for not checking first) after going to install the shock after having it all rebuilt. [bang] Good luck Jordan!

Post by: eltristo on June 22, 2008, 08:45:00 PM So am I correct in reading that my 2000 monster will take a different shock than, say, an 05 620?
