*Koni*s are *Ikon*s now, so reading from an Ikon list, the 7610-1348 shocks are not the ones specified for the Commando, which are type 76-1373.

The 7610-1348 type appear to be 5mm shorter than the Commando type, and the spring rate is softer, which may not be a problem if the rider is not very heavy, and does not regularly carry a pillion passenger?

However, the 7610-1348 shock mountings are (internal bore x external diameter x width) = 14.1 x 26.0 x 20.0mm, the Commando 76-1373 shock mountings are 12.1 x 26.0 x 18.0mm.

So the 7610-1348 shocks would not appear to fit the Commando frame shock upper mounts unless the shock ends are reduced in width and the mounting bolts or shock mounting bolt holes also need to be modified?

I found that information here: http://www.motomike.eu/download_pdf.php ... t_1-16.pdf

Thanks very much for that L.A.B
