[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 10825, member: 21"] On old forks there was not enough rigidity so you had to have the same springs and damping on both sides. If you didn't you could get all sorts of weird deflections in the front suspension. With today's large diameter upside down forks this is no longer the case so you can separate functions into one fork leg. That said it's a great way to get people to buy new bikes. Those forks might work well when new, but add in some fork bushing wear and all those weird deflections will start to appear. Not only does the high sturng engine wear out quick, so do the forks.
