Year and model to narrow it down, or a pic is even better and we can tell you.

The bike is a 2001 ec200.

From this picture of widebears 2003, it appears that i have the same fork and shock. My shock does not have any ohlins sticker or print on it at all. Forks are the same color.

Ohlins forks were an option and not too common. Ohlins shock was the only girl in town at the time. Do the forks look like KTM WP forks? They should. Measure the stanchions (lowers), they should be 43mm. Ohlins are 46mm.

the sticker on the ohlins wears off. should be gold body shock with most likely a yellow spring.

you have 43mm wp and ohlins shock. the 46mm ohlins forks are gold.
