Default '11 300 Sachs shock - what other bikes is it on?

I bought a race tech gold valve for the Gasser to fix the pogo sticking when hot, I was too lazy to persevere with the stock piston band/o-ring mod and wanted to play with stacks anyway, this SHOULD have been a good way of doing it.

Problem: To get a 'recommended' stack from Race Tech you log on to their website and using the code accompanying the kit (Kit SMGV5043NV) select makem model etc etc to get a suggested stack. The Race Tech websites' latest listing for GG 300's is 2000

I'll be calling Terry Hay tomorrow who I purchased the kit through for his input, but I was wondering is there another bike out there with the same Sachs shock that would give me a 'close' suggestion to start with? I know it will be different weight/geometry and therefore more then likely grossly inaccurate stack suggestions etc but anythings better then nothing right? Otherwise what am I going to do with the 'code'?

How is it that Race Tech has no listing at all for post '00 Gassers? Thats ridiculous.

I seem to remember using the 2010 husky 310. You just need to adjust your body weight input to cater for the husky being a few kg heavier than the GG
The web option never worked for me, It took me a few emails to get the shim stack to match the shim sizes in the kit, but I never managed to get any clicker settings from them

The '10 Huskys were the same, well they used the same gold valve kit anyway. Didn't matter the code I had wouldn't work on the website digital valving guide thingy. Had to ring them in the US and get a stack over the phone. All good now time will tell how it goes.

Big difference in port size between stock vs gold valve:

Both my betas had Sachs shock. No idea if it was the same shock
