Unless Im mistaken , the ' Short Roadholder ' refers to the ' Manx ' length type . Or Featherbed . No doubt numerous lengths , or at least in combination with dampers / bush spacers .
These ' Short ' type ( with external springs ) can hit the lower steering damper fitting on the earlyish ( 70 ) Commando front guard , If you fit one .
Polishing , de burring , & ' coustom fitting / drilling ' the damper rod assembly , can ' tune ' the suspension to use . Indeed , youll likely hurt its feelings , fitting Jap Parts .
Why its immediate ancestors faught the little yellow blighters . :wink: :? .
Sounds l;ike you need to get the measureing stick out , and make some notes . In conjunction with the parts manuel . :? The ' SHORT ' ones for street use , youd end up with the nose lower
and less rake , if youre not doing 1000 mile an hour , might be o.k.
