Aftermarket

Post by Ryan »

Does this vavle look aftermarket? ANd would it be smart to use on my kx forks. I got it off the 98's i won on ebay, they were vavled by pro-action but im not sure if they are stock and if they are not if they will work better? thanks

Compare them to the Pro-Action piston pic'd in my gallery:

Your pics are blurry (sharp enough to tell the forks must not have been serviced in about ever..what a bunch of goop!), but they look quite a lot alike to me.

I've not seen an OEM KX piston for comparison.

Hey Ryan, use imageshack.us and resize them to about 800x600 instead of 2271x1702. It does it automatically if you click the resize box. Your pics are huge and its painful waiting for them to upload. :blink: :blink:

acutally they look the same as mine, would they be better for woods riding or would the stock piston be better for woods riding?

Well I'll tell ya how I see it. No offence intended. If I open a post and it is taking forever to open a picture, I would more than likely not wait around for the picture to load, therefore eliminating the chance of me answering any questions. Even though I don't have alot of info to share I'm sure others are just as patient as me. BTW If you upload them to imageshack it resizes the automatically and its fast. It's really a win/win situation, we don't have to waqit forever and you get answers. :wink:
