an idea here from James the great. go to royal catalog then go to the shocks and do yourself a cross reference.

the parts might bolt right up and likely will. the difference is one visible and that is the springs on that big triple shocks are stiffer. two is the shock is probably valved alot different.

my front shocks are blown! so ANY shock thats the same length
and will bolt right up is a good shock for me..thats why I just wanted to know what fits etc. like a track a standard 121 fits alot of sleds BUT have different part #'s some have different patterns etc. but If your track was broke and you needed one.. you sure wouldnt care..long as it fit,thats all I was saying.

and I appriciate your help!! You just didnt undersatnd what I wanted thats all..my bad

If you use there online catalogue they have the centre to centre lengths and bolt diameter. That would allow you to cross reference the length for your sled against those for other sleds

This might seem like a dumb question but why not just call and order the proper shock for your sled?
