Default Katana 600 Suspension

I am very interested in getting a new suspension for my 2001 Katana 600. The OEM is a little soft for me. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to buy or if the stock shocks are adjustable?

Progressive shocks may fit. You can also change out the fork oil, if you want something up front. Do a search . . . it's also fairly common to change some of the internals of the forks. Not sure if the stock 'Kat forks can be 'massaged' into better performance or not.

Kudos to you for beefing up the suspension. Most folks 'mod' their bikes with silly chrome, or ridiculous lighting.
