wonder about the stroke on the strut, surely that is consistent....wonder too about mounting points...be interesting to find out measurement from standardized points.

I don't think that's an issue. The bolts seem fully set. The problem is that the struts keep hitting the plastics that are part of the brake master/battery covers and that's what is causing the bulge.

Could be inconsistency in plastic parts. Those particular items prob wouldn't be specced to tight because of location/use.

Did you contact Z1 about the issue?

Which side of the hood are the struts facing?

Is the outer tube towards the front of the hood, or the rear of the hood?
