My forks on my l model have got showa written on them

It aint a sticker it looks like part of the casting, they look like forks from other zxrs i've seen but i've not seen any with showa written on them.

Whats all that about?

well the standard rear shock is a showa unit iirc. No reason why the front shouldnt be. where abouts on the casting is it?

i'll try get some pics for you before i strip them, the bottom of the leg appears painted and is a bit scruffy, when they go to maxton i'll get them anodised.
