I was browsing in the Racer X gallery when I noticed his forks...




Compared to his teammates, Izzi's.

Looks like Showa for the 450 and KYB for the 250s... Neither are "works" and you can ride kit forks in the lites bike.

Does Stroupe have custom shrouds like Stewart? Those aren't stock.

Stroupe's bike has a hydraulic clutch?

Also, the mapping switch next to the throttle has its wiring run up and over the top of the brake master cylinder. Wierd.

Hey DV what is the advantage of running Showa over Kayaba on that level? Why would one work over the other for a factory bike?

Suspension guys will tell you that these days more than ever, Showa and Kayaba have very close components inside
