Longest front dampers? CP Targaline?

The BGM adjustable front dampers are approx 10 mm too short, for my set up, when fully extended.
So, does the CP Targaline have longer piston travel and therefore will they fit?
I ask this as they look to have the longest “body” of the New style front dampers so maybe they have the longest piston travel?
Cheers, Ian

I have a pair you can borrow to see if they'll fit. I can leave them with Jarv before I go so you can try them. Jim

I have a hunch that I’m not the only person to have discovered this

Cheers Norrie, looking for adjustable versions if possible.
Somebody somewhere must have extended all the front shocks to find the longest / those with the longest travel?

What links you using ? I found the same issue with MB stainless links as they trail lower. Making the distance from damper stud to fork bracket longer. I changed to innocenti links problem solved. This was with standard dampers and Kawasaki. Both fit ok with original links fitted. I'm not saying there's a problem with mb links , it could have been my brackets were in the wrong place. It's just how I got around the problem. My forks were chromed and I didn't want to have to grind off and rechrome.
