Did Dungey/Deano goto air or are they just running the same decals that Shorty has been running with his air forks... Davi/Brayton/Anderson still look like the previous stuff?

ML? GuyB?

The new WP sticker was on a few spring forks last night, such as McElrath's bike. I got in late from Florida so I didn't check some of the others. I think Andrew Short was the only WP air rider, but I could be wrong.

Andrew had'em.

Some of the other KTMs ran a decal that's a lot like the "Air" decal; but, doesn't have the "air" designation or acronym.

They will fit, but I believe you will need to use your 2012 wheel spacers and fork guards.

Sounds right. Clamp wise, they will work for sure.

great thanks for that- might not be an issue anyway if I like the air forks, but its nice to know that if I don't I have another set of forks I can slot straight in!

thanks again

from what i was told you will need them , as the ktm air forks are lighter and cheaper to make with so called new tech but they are crap , they are not as good as the 4cs

You're my know it all internet guy who does in fact actually know it all! haha...

It'll be interesting to see the orange and white guys either move to or avoid this fork... Seems KYB is sorted and some of the showa guys are still searching... Big product endorsement for WP coming up.

Boy you are sure looking to get this news out. Two current threads so far that have nothing to do with this info.
