Title: Showa 41mm Valve Type?
Post by: dhealy on July 27, 2013, 02:34:53 PM
I bought some Gold Valves and springs from Race Tech to rebuild the suspension on my 99 Monster. When I got the forks apart someone had already been in there and worked on them. I don't know what the stock valves look like but these don't look stock to me. Does anyone know what kind they are?

Those look just like RaceTech.... except for the 'double' holes.

I suspect they're early RaceTech.

They sure aren't stock Showa Monster valves.

They almost look like Showa SBK valves...which is a good valve.
