I am Shocked

[tumbleweed58]

Hi all I am new to the forum and am in need of some info from members that know more than I do ( that should not be hard ) I have a 2000 Kodiak 4x4 and a friend was using it to do some work around his place and broke a front shock now I am trying to find a replacement on ebay and am not sure what year range will work and if 4X4 or 2X4 is different thank for any help with this

did it blow a seal or the actual shock case ?

first, nice play on words LOL ...

i looked on bike bandit, went back to 98 and ahead to 2001, and it looks like they are different shocks for each year. don't know why ???

i think the 4x4 shocks are a littler heavy duty for the weight of the bike ...

broke at the mounting ring, thanks for the info I am learning that a lot of parts differ from year to year i got a muffler from a 1999 and the mounting tabs would mot line up

not that I can find, all I got is ebay

can anyone give me specs on length and mounting hole size on earlier and later years so I see what else might work. The range of what I have is 2000 thru 2002. I cant find used shocks my year range so I will look for what else will work. Thanks for all replies.
