rubber seals. The shock lengths from
standard vary from 12.4" centres (315.0 mm) centres to 14.4in. (366.0 mm) and use
3in. of travel. The damper piston is specially designed to enable the damper to travel
at high speed, necessary in this type of Motorcycle sport. The suspension can be built to
order, to suit special individual designs and rider requirements. Springs are available from
