KYB Shock Mount Identification
| ID | = | Inside diameter |
| OD | = | Outside diameter |
| E1 | = | Eyering with 5/8″ ID rubber bushing |
| E1 – L/E | = | Large eyering with rubber bushing The (xxx) after L/E is the bushing ID. |
| E2 | = | Eyering with bushing and metal sleeve The (xxx) after E2 are the sleeve dimensions. Example: (12 x 32) = 12mm ID x 32mm wide |
| E3 | = | Eyering with slotted barpin The (xxx) after E3 is the barpin slot dimensions & rotation. Example: (48 x 80 x 0) = 48mm from slot ID to slot ID, 80mm barpin OD, with 0 degrees rotation. (means barpin is perpendicular to shock body) |
| S1 | = | Standard 3/8″ / 10mm OD stem (bayonet) mount |
| S1(xxx) | = | Stem with special dimension Example: S1(12mm) = 12mm OD stem |
| S-BRKT | = | Special bracket with studs |
| Special | = | Special mount configuration |
