After saving it to your hard drive, did you choose File > Open > select the STEP option from the drop down menu for file type > and the Open button?

The NB fronts are slightly different - more mechanical trail

ABS equipped parts are ~5oz lighter than the non-abs parts due to the extra holes.

I haven't found any differences in the NB rear uprights
