Mark confirmed via email that the 135mm he told me before was in fact a typo. Also, Mike Schiller is correct that it is a RANGE, corresponding to the length the long slot in the picture.
So again, measure center to center from your fork tip eyelet to the mid fork braze-on on the front side of your forks. If that center to center distance is *195mm - 235mm*, then a HARack will fit on your bike. If you don't have a mid fork braze-on on the front side of your forks, then you are P-clamping it.
