Are forks the same through all years?

Hi,

I ordered a trx fork off ebay but it's got silver lowers and is slightly bigger? Waswondering if it was TRX at all?

Concerning the rebuild, I've got as far as cleaning the frame!

The sliders are slightly different in size between the Oz/Euro spec and the Japanese domestic spec, Kev knows the sizes. The spring rate is also different. The Oz/Euro had .75 mm/kg and the Japanese .50 mm/kg. The stauntion size is the same (41mm from memory). Apart from that, all years are the same.

Yes, and if you ride an import, and weigh more than 65kg change to the export spec springs... Cheap way to improve, and by raising the oil level a few millimeters, good enough for a 4hr race (on a fairly smooth track).
