Need HELP with Fork!!
Well Im planning on putting my new forks that Ive had for about 8 months now. Well the problem is I looked at them and they dont look Like the spare set of TLR forks I have in the garage. You guy I bought them from assured me they were TLR forks, Can anyone tell what the are by looking? They look like Busa forks to me but I really have no clue.



Thanks

They look like Busa forks. They've got the different fender mount

Are they 55mm diameter at the bottom clamp? If so then I'm pretty sure they have to be Busa forks as the others got 54mm lower clamps. They're not TLR or TLS forks as noted, you can tell by the little fender mount opposite the lower adjusting screw.

They are Busa forks,which are 5mm longer then your TL ones.
They should still fit.
I did this mod myself...

Good I was hoping they were, when I found out they were not TL forks. Now do I keep my stock fender or be lazy and buy a coerce busa fender. I guess it depends on how lazy I am and how much I wanna spend. But knowing they are busa forks its time to have the bottoms powdercoated black
