I have read that an inexpensive suspension upgrade for a Monster 620ie is the shock off of a 749/999.  Is this possible?  I look at the current setup and that area is so crowded that it would be hard to install a shock with an external reservoir.  If anyone has ever successfully made this upgrade I would really appreciate details on how it was accomplished.

I don't remember all the details anymore, but you shpould find some info here:

Also parked due to having been T-boned on track.

Well, it looks more complicated that I had hope to make this upgrade.  I think that I will just upgrade the stock shock with a better spring and leave it there.  Thank you MonsterHPD for you input!    [thumbsup]
