Opinions wanted as to using Griso fork / shock on a Norge. Perhaps with uprated springs?

Griso / Norge, Shock / Forks
- Thread starter cheese

The Griso fork is a fine Showa unit. The sky (and your wallet) are the limit for options. I'd be concerned with clamping surfaces on the fork once the diameter is verified. This the set on eBay you're looking at?
Rear shock is the same Sachs unit, likely with a firmer spring.

Had heard the Griso shock is fully adjustable-preload, rebound, compression..as is the fork. the unit on e-bay had both clamps, but looked suspicious to me, it is what got me to thinking though..

I found a pic of the rear shock, and yes it looks to be fully adjustable, but it also looks like it will *NOT* fit on the Norge due to the reservoir mount/positioning. The front end of the eBay Griso (Porterhouse's here on this Forum) is what took the brunt of the impact that caused the crash, but "seems to be OK" according to the tech that did the estimate. I'd still want to have them in my hands prior to saying they'd work on the Norge, as the forks sit under the bolt-on bar risers as well as the clamping areas perhaps not being similar per above.

Thanks for the help. My hesitation regarding the forks was due to "Aprilia" cast on the fork bottom. Having never seen a set of these before I didn't realise this was normal.
