Pretty much
My 996 has the Spondon extended swingarm (Ray Stringer had a batch made) uses a standard rocker linked to a adjustable length Penske shock with high and low speed damping. All works very well.
When the 995 used the Spondon arm at the IOM it was using a Koni shock built to suit by Maxton. 2nd in the Senior Manx seems a fair reflection of how well it worked
