I'd be surprised if there was any difference, even in spring rate, but it might be worth at least measuring the lengths between the mounting points (unloaded) and checking with Bitubo or whichever maker you are thinking of going for.

Dunno. I've been considering one for my high miler GFR as they seem to be the only people doing on that fits. A suspension specialist might be able to match the length and mounting points and supply suitable springs to use any suitable shock so if yopu can get all the data for the Bitubo unit someone like John Gaskell at Revs might be able to supply a Wilbers or similar (I have one on my ER6 but they are in their application list).
