Do I have WP or Showa?

Jonjo · Aug 20, 2018

Hi all,

I have a 2004 R1200 GS and I want to replace the rear spring. I'm not after replacing the whole shock.

How do I know If I have a WP or SHOWA shock?

I've looked for specific markings but can't find any.

Thanks in advance.

WP for a 2004

Is that guaranteed? I've got one reply on here for WP and one on a FB group for Showa :friday

there's a youtube video which shows how to identify them, do a search. Beemershop did it I think. Biggest telltale is front Showa has an external reservoir
