[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 195507, member: 1650"] Those first USD's were in need of developement for sure. My 88 and 87's had/have virtually the same ones other than the 87's had heavier springs. in 89 the 125 still came with the conventionals and I have a set of those that work as well as any of that lineage did if not better, all they needed was heavier springs to do so. on my older frames, updating the forks to something newer in the line of 46 or 47 mm legs wasnt very satisfactory. the frames really were not intended for the stiffer fork legs, and the shorter steering stems kind of exacerbated the problem(s) it seemed. the upside to going with newer ones was better damping though. the 89's just worked better on the conventionals and it is easy to find them still. Mugen made a kit to convert those to where you had damping on the compression side too. SUDCO had them for 250 USD the last time I looked. [/QUOTE]
