Which years will fit, and which ones wont?

There are a couple of ebay atm, and i'm very tempted.

They all fit

Gen1 bikes without any bother

Gen 2 bikes there is a fouling of the battery enclosure requiring it to be "remodelled" and the battery relocated. Martin Poll has a number of brand new ones (and not from the production run that cracked)

Interesting. I would ask which suspension links i would need, but you will probably kill me. Therefore, i shall do some reading tomorrow :)

Gen 1 arm and Falco arm: Suspension linkages .... matched to the shock for which they were designed to work

Gen 2 arm: Yes check it out - I think shock and linkage from Gen 2 bike BUT I'd look for replacement triangles as the Gen 2 ones that broke were a bit concerning. I think some stronger ones of the same geometry are available
