It's Honda forks so it's Showa

And let's see the whole bike

Its a Honda disc, and yeah they are Showas.

That blue sticker there doesn't that say showa? Or no? I have these same exact forks I'm building for my Primmy and that blue sticker there on mine says Showa

[KlxRacer#2]

ya they do but anyone can put a sticker on lol

[KlxRacer#2]

who all runs showas on here and where is the best place to send em to get overhauled im talking coatings and revalved

My buddy cody has shows that were done by feal,there pro circuit brown,they were for sale in the parts section about a month ago.he loves them.

Are these front ends heavier than marzocchi? Seems like they would be since they're sealed cartridge dampening and built stronger. Does this setup tend to nose dive more in jumps?

Yeah but the chance of gettin that sticker and puttin them on kyb somebody would be dumb but the fork gaurds look like mine and the caliper and disk and the clamps too at least from that angle.... I was gunna have a different company beside feal to my zokes but a buddy of mine has some showas that odi did and there sweet there not anodized or anything but there smooth and then Cody has some that are sweet looking so ima go ahead and send my showas there and have him do everything including anodizing its gunna be like 450 for everything which I thought was a good deal for every thing I was wantin done

Those look identical to the Showas that I have. I will try to take a couple of pictures of them in the next couple days and throw them on here. Haven't had a chance to ride on them yet but just messing with them there are super super smooth.

So yer how much heavier are these then zochies?? revalved zochies would be plenty of fork for me ..
but if the cut-down and revalved 85's are THAT much better and not to much lighter i would like me a set ..
but they just look way to heavy?? (trying to build the lightest klx110 i can )

"heavier"

[82b2k]

I haven't weighed mine nor have i rode with them yet but they didn't feel a whole hell of a lot heavier than the old style zokes i just got rid of.

I bet there just with in a few pounds of each other actually I have a set of zokes ad a set of Showas in my garage off the bikes actually it's my old set your old set of zokes Cody haha ima weigh them tm I'll post it up but even if it was a 10 pound difference if I was you I would build a set of showas there so sweet but I doubt try weigh 10 lbs more I will find out after while

Please do, I'm very interested what the actual weight difference is. When I posted my CRF70 with Modded CRF150R Showas I had a bunch of clowns flamming me 'cause they're too heavy, going to endo off every jump. Whateve's, Haters gon Hate!
