The stock shocks are similar to the IKON shocks with the adjustable damping.
Can they be rebuilt?

From what I've found, if they screw apart, they can be rebuilt. If welded together, as most stock shocks are, nobody will fool with them.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100 -
The rear shocks on the 83 Kat I am restoring CANNOT be rebuilt, they are seam welded, I just bought some progressive ones which look the part!Comment

What exactly about your shocks are wrong? If the cartridge is in good shape and all you need are new springs then maybe. I know nothing about the shocks on a Kat but if theyre like the ones on a GS750, you can remove the top shock mount and remove the springs. Even with the predampen style. Post a pic of the shock with a close up of top and bottom, who knows.Comment
