Where can you buy new Showa stuff except from Pro-Circuit? Spring?

Factory Connection used to be another source... Depending on the model.

Even thought the air forks have a bad rap amongst some, KYB's PSF1 system is quite good. The initial production version wasn't quite up to par with their initial settings, but with the right work they're pretty damn good. Enzo Racing pumps out quite a few kit KYB PSF1 sets and that's the version of fork that the majority of riders running KYB are using. Although there is a "works" version of this fork, it's actually not much different than the production or kit version the public can buy.

i personally love my air forks(sff tac, stock forks) i think once you figure out how to adjust them and do enough research to counteract some of the problems with feel and such they are pretty awesome.. i guess the ignorance of different components/kits may skew my judgement based on the lack of experience.. i wouldnt know what im missing till i have tried it..

my curious nature alone wants to pick up a set when i can afford it, can you tell me why you prefer the psf1's i believe i saw a post where you said they were your personal favorite..

I have used WP Cone KXF forks available. Very rare.

I'm in UK £1300 plus shipping

No one I speak to in the UK is 'enjoying' the KXF air forks.
