I had a mishap with a car last week and have been waiting for insurance companies, police reports, etc so I can get back on the road.
Today, I found an 02 Vee literally in my own backyard (like 3 miles away!) that threw a chain, which took out the slave cylinder, covers, and left crankcase.
The guy gave up on the bike when he found out how much the repairs were gonna be, and I got the whole thing for a song.
I cross referenced the P#s for the fork tubes and found that they are different for 02 and 03 and later...
I read in one or another forum that the difference in the forks was that 03 got preload adjusters...

Can any one verify what if any, other differences there are in the forks??

Thanks ahead of time, Ed

I gathered that much, just trying to figure out why the different part numbers....

I looked on the RaceTech website, Both are 43mm Showas, both use the same springs, emulators,etc.....

Thanks for your reply.
