I just recently put these on my A/F and they are sweet! The Showas that were on the bike were valved for mx and were pretty stiff for high speed rough terrain riding. These are nice and forgiving and mean less fatigue and less swapping of the front end. In Glamis the Showas made the bike feel stiff and the bars fought me over every bump, these should do better.

I run the 50MM works one's. I told you you'd like those! Let me know if you want them to feel like butter!!!! Hey I got a set of polished clamps for those if your interested.

Right awn man! I wish these were the 50mm ones, your forks must be sick! I would love a set of custom clamps, give me a call Mike.

whats a set worth?

Mikes are like 3G's for a set, mine are prolly 1500 new from a dealer but they can be found used for cheap. Mine are new but I don't know what they cost, they came with my A/F.

They're like $2700 retail but, I can get them for you guy's delivered to your door for that the whole kit clamps, stem, caliper bracket and you get them dialed for "you" no charge and that's a $300.00 service alone.

Oh and Terrance they are sick! Call me about the clamps.

I always stayed away fron them because in the mid nineties thae made a 50 mm conventional that was supposed not be that good for KTM ,it blew fork seals left and right.

Dwayne the stud Jones told me the tolerences varied from set to set and you never new what you were buying but this was around 8 years ago. He told me the Showa stuff was alot better quality and the Marzochs liked to contaminate the oil real bad.

Maybe they improved in the 13 years since? They are stock on Husqvarnas and work well. Might be difficult to justify springing for a set to replace OEM Showas v getting a complete re-build/upgrade from - say - Factory Connection...

you do realize its DeWayne, not Dwayne, right?
He decides he doesn't like something and sticks by his opinion. I'm sure there has been improvement in all those years...
You should hear the shit he says about KTMs!!

KTM = Kick Twenty Minutes......

I thought it meant Kill The Mailman. My buddy said it means Kan't Trust Mormons.

I think I paid around $300 for yours.

Kick Twenty Minutes? Only when you drop a running one in the flowing river at dumont. Fuker started though, then rode it back to the trailer. Dam things still running good, even better with the 6 speed conversion.

too bad my camera phone only got 2 helmets above the water line
but I was the pussy for not following according to brit!
