I was just looking at my Old Man Emu shock kit I got from GW and noticed that the front shock had two different numbers. Is this correct to compensate for the Westy Lean or just the wrong parts. The tubes are different lengths. These are going on a Syncro Weekender.
N38S B4C15
N38S B3B14

thanks

Both of my front OME shocks are N38S B6D12 (stamped on shock body), and are of equal length. Box says N38S D2289
Sounds like you should contact GW

N38S is the model number. As long as both have that number, you're good to go. Those other digits may be production run identifiers or similar.
