Plan on getting an A-Kit but have but have not found a kit in good enough condition yet
The Shop
Not worried about who did the valving I'll do that myself
Big big difference...I have owned several A-kit in the past. FC and PC, I have also be lucky enough to owned a Factory only Showa A-Kit that I bought from JGR, they were from Millsaps YZF that he rode during the SX season and it made the FC and PC kits feel like you were riding in an OEM old Pinto car!
The internal in the forks were way different, the problem with the A-Kits that public can buy that they are frankenstein and are not truly real A-Kit from the Showa Factory.
BV pistons are smaller as are the MV. The Dampener rods a lot smaller,(thus not moving as much oil up-into the BV chamber making them less tunable from the BV) the BV chambers are shorter as are the Springs.
(*Roll over my avatar and check the 2004 CRF450 out they have the Showa Factory A-Kit and there are some good pics of the kit*

Also what are the length of the spring....I am going to need .54 kg springs in the forks?
Need to make sure that they are avaib
-theDogger
I believe that they have a 16mm Dampener Rod which is better than 12mm
Can you get some pics of he coatings and the lugs?
-theDogger
I have the same, brand new.

Looking for some Pro Circuit Triple Clamps that are in good shape for a 2014 KX450F
Full Kit - Upper, Lowers and 1-1/8" bar mounts
Pit Row
Thus the reason that the BV is so much more tunable because there is about 4x the amount of oil displaced and pushed into the BV chamber
these are factory only Showa A-Kit from JGR they were Davi Millsaps when he rode for them on the YZF. They were used for the one season in SX. They were suppose to go to Michael Byrne but he got injured and was not racing that year. Was lucky enough to know Tim Shut and bought them direct from JGR with new CRF machined billet lugs.
I have owned PC A-Kits and FC A-Kits and they are frankenstein A-Kits and there is no comparison to the Showa Factory A-Kits.
