DB Senior Pro - HLT ?

[Peter J]

Is the DB Senior Pro F&F the same geometry as the HLT F&F ?

[meticulous]

yep,  exactly the same frame and forks....

Correct. Can't even tell by the serial number if both frames were raw despite the senior pro coming out in late 81 and the HLT in around March 82.

Nearly right, 1st gen Senior Pro was released in Spring '81. 

The frame then was updated with a rear leverage change which was basically the rear dropouts angle, which slightly raised the ride height in early '82.
