Title: Full Floater help/what are these off?
Post by: LWC82PE on September 28, 2008, 03:12:57 pm

I got these aftermarket adjustable suspension struts for a Full Floater and I want to know what they fit. I think they are White Brothers brand but I’ve also seen these listed as made by DG so im not sure.

I want to know if they will fit RM 125 250 or 465
Or PE 175

Can some people tell me the standard length ( A- B center to center direct/diagonally across from one hole to the other) of the standard steel struts fitted to 81-83 RM125 and 81-82 RM 250/465 and 82-84 PE 175.

Also what size are the bolts at the lower mount? 8mm or 10mm? are both sides the same? These have miss matched rod ends and dont appar to be correct so I want to fit new ones. The male thread is 3/8 UNF but I can not see that I will get a rod end with 8 or 10mm bolt hole and a 3/8 UNF thread to go into the alloy, it would have to be 5/16 or 3/8 hole.

And what are the widths between the brackets on the swing arms where the rod end sits in between on the various models? are they the same? - so i can work out what width the rod ends should be ar the ball joint or if split spacer bushings are required.

Also on top of the struts there is a welded in threaded insert. Do these face towards the inside of the bike?

Thanks for your help

I found a 82 white brothers catalogue and they are listed in there but no photo

For 125 the part number is WB795
For 250 and 465 part number is WB 796

So I’m wondering what the difference is.
The Suzuki part numbers seem to differ for all capacities as well.

I measured mine and they are about 238-240mm with ends wound right in. that’s also with a washer under the nut I put there and non original nuts as they didn’t come with any lock nuts. So if I took out the washer and had a thinner lock nut they might measure 235. I also don’t think the rod ends are correct either.

So far it looks like they will fit 125’s

I hope to use these on a future project.
