Trying to decide whether to go with cv or showa a-kit on my 450. Read all the forums on the cv forks has anyone tried the Showa a-kit on ktm? How do they compare?

I've had a PC A KIT on a KTM since 2012. It was first on my 450sxf....now it is on my 2013 300 XC set up for off road. Great setup ... no complaints. Deals well with every situation.

Also have the WP CV forks on my 2016 350 sxf......again a very nice setup.

Which one is better.... could not tell you as a love both.... however for the cost review ......the CV wins

I rode a set of Showa internals(I know it's not A-kit) in WP outlers and Cone valves back to back. they both had great initial plushness, the showa's initial stroke was very very nice in small bumps. But the cone valves had amazing bottom resistance.

He's looking for forum member feedback, not media.

From the article posted...

"Are you a millionaire? A top 20 National rider? Unless you answered yes to either of these questions, move on; there is nothing to see here. Does it work better than the stock WP forks and shock? Yes…a lot better."

Laughing Laughing Or 29 and make decent money with no kids and not overextended on payments left and right?

OT but why is it such a sin not to immediately get married divorced make $10/hr forever and have kids and payments you can barely make? lol I'm sorry I just thought that was awesome to see them write that. Glad I don't live in that little box of thought...

As TEAM GREEN said. "A kit? I'M WORTH IT!" or was that slip dog? lol
