Ambassador shocks

Hi guys.
My 1970 Ambo needs rear shocks due to the originals being rusted through. I've seen a set of used Konis for a V1000 guzzi with an overall length of 13" or 330mm in metric terms. Can anybody advise of whether or not these will be suitable??
Rgds,
Dave.

Can't comment on the bushing size, but my generic repro shocks are 13 inches eyelet to eyelet and the ride height is perfect.
