TBS fork tubes same as TB Fork tubes?

Hi all,

Does anyone know off hand if the TBS and TB share the same fork tubes? Forks by Frank say they have the fork tubes for a Thunderbird but don't have a listing for a TBS of the same year. I'm away from home so I can't verify by my Haynes, so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

It's my understanding that the TB and the Legend have the same fork tubes and that the TBS is different on the right side due to having twin discs instead of just the single on the left side. Correct me if I'm wrong.

IIRC the inners are different on all three models - legend tbird and tbs, but I don't have my fiches handy to check. It is very unlikely that the tBS and TBird are the same as the forks are a totally different design (cartridge vs damping rod).
