Does anyone know....

[Toddmeister]

Details of the OE non-ESA front forks please?

The only information I've been able to find out from dealer and Internet is they are 46mm diameter with 150mm travel and they are likely to be Sachs units.

If anyone has standard non-ESA set up please could they let me know if there is a model number (or any other identifier) on the fork legs.

Many thanks

That's as much as I could find out.

If you look at the parts fiche you can see the different forks I think.

There are two sets of forks shown here. The lower ones are gold so they are the ESA type so I assume the top ones are non ESA. Doesn't give much info though, just part numbers and weights.

Thanks for looking Dave, there isn't a great deal out there!

Thanks Tom, Part numbers is a good start.

I'm trying to get the info for Jon at Revs. The bike is going straight there after I pick it up in March. I've got the rear sorted with a nice Wilbers 643 nightline shock. The front end is proving a bit more of a challenge as there isn't a specific Wilbers cartridge kit right now and nobody seems to know which Sachs unit is on the non-ESA version of the bike.

The investigations continue!
