Well i have recently fitted one that looks just the same, different colour spring. You need an adaptor for the bottom mount, they are made
by projection components. 'Kayla' form the forum is partner in the company. Mine came with the adaptor.

no you need the one with the forked bottom mount not the eye mount. Such as:

spring rate is a 0.98 so good for an 80kg rider.
