the shock may be a little shorter 5-10mm if I remember correctly so you will be lowering the bike a little.

Does your '99 have the rear suspension hoop? If I remember correctly the monsters didn't change from the ST frames until '01.

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. Sad

He's going from SS to SS.

No hoops involved.

Ah, gotcha. 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 head

Good luck Jordan!

So am I correct in reading that my 2000 monster will take a different shock than, say, an 05 620?
