I am trying to order race tech fork springs for my 2002 1200 Trophy. Race tech only lists up to 2001, so I need to know if my 2002 has Kyaba or Showa forks? Anyone know? How do I tell?
Thanks in advance!

Talked with a Tech at Motorcycles of Charlotte (local Triumph,BMW,Ducati,Aprilla dealer). Confirmed that my forks are SHOWA.

Hello all. Just a follow-up on an earlier post. I finally got the work done. New tires(BT021), Race tech springs(.95 for my 230 lbs),15 weight fork oil, new coils(Nology) and a new battery. Bike is like a race bike in the front end(NO wallowing!) but not harsh for day to day riding. Now for a new rear shock.

I have the Gold Valves in my 2002,along with the .95 springs also, they are so much nicer as you mentioned. I also am in the 230 range and the bike just rails. Try the Hagon shock for the rear, I went with the 140kg spring with remote preload. I had originally thought the 160 rate would be better, but at Hagon`s recomendation`s I went the 140 and it is great.
Enjoy that freight train of a bike, I love mine.
