Front suspension question

Post by roadburner »

Just ordered a new front shock from wilbers, and they rang back to ask wether i had the shorter front suspension struts on my bike.
No idea that there was ant difference ( apperently neither did wilbers until last year) , so any ideas please - 2005 BCR

I think the front end is from a GS - that is what I was told. Apparently changed from the Mamola BCR cos the racers were getting the heads down too easily - I do stand to be corrected - I'm usually wrong!!

I know they have the GS forks which are longer, but no idea about the linkage/ strut , hence the question
