2011- ESA Suspension question

Post by wust588 »

I removed my ESA system some months ago, and am now replacing it.
On the front suspension I can't remember which way round the electrical lead goes- facing forward, or backwards. Daft I know!
I have the feeling that it faces backwards.
Could some kind soul have a look at their ESA set up for me?
Many thanks.

Wust588 The Front ESA electrical lead goes to the rear and leads off to the left side of the bike.

The rear exits to the left.
