Found this sticker on the inside of both my forks. I googled it and plenty of stuff about firestorm forks came up. No real surprise there, but is this just the manufacturer brand that Honda uses for the storm forks? A bit like Nissin for the brakes?

Yeah that's right. Honda traditionally use Showa suspension.

Yeah, mine had them till I painted them but the numbers on mine were different I think.
Mine is a 2005 model, when I find the stickers I will post the numbers, I'm sure they were different to yours.

That makes sense, One of the post 2000 changes was they firmed up the forks a bit. "From model year 2001, Honda introduced a number of improvements. These included increasing the tank from 16 liters (4.23 US gallons) to 19 liters (5.02 US gallons), internal modifications to the front forks, black wheels, smaller indicators, an improved riding position thanks to less steeply raked clip-on bars and an LCD display for fuel level, engine temperature, dual trip meters, odometer and clock. A Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) immobiliser also became standard" |
