Cool just want to check cause of the smaller diff in the front of the 105, would standard shocks be ok to run for a couple of weeks?

I thought it had the same as the lux, the 80 might have as well, I'm an old 60 series owner :armsup:

same diff centre in the front, just goes from 6 stud to 5 stud for 100s... the rear diff centre has a different spline??? and is also 5 stud on the 100. the 100 has bigger CVs too possibly?? coils are the same.

Thanks for the responses so far.
Cheers

80 shocks and coils are the same in the 105's. But u might find that 80 coils will sit a tad lower in the 105 as the 105's are a tad heavier.

If they are springs from a pre 92 80 they will lift your cruiser an inch. I put 105 springs in my 80 and it dropped the height. Shocks fit fine too.

It depends on the brand of coils as Dobinsons use different part numbers for the 80 to the 105. they will fit fine but 105 coils are heavier to do the same work as an 80. Shocks are the same for both vehicles.
