If it's an LTD, it is a C3.
A3 is a standard with 18" rear wheel. (Yours is 16".)
H1 is the mono-shock gpz 550.

Chances are it can be a bit short, depending on what handlebars you're using.

Then the A3 will fit better than the C3 cable

To see all of the differences in those 3 bikes, you can grab the factory manuals from my signature.
