Hello folks.

Well i noticed quite a while ago that the forks on my blandit 4 (jap spec) has 'Yoshimura' on the forks (the outer bits)

Now it doesn't seem to be a sticker (As in there is no edge to it) but it seems to be etched on (either that or a transfer under the laquer)

Now i have done some googling and can't find anything at all regarding yoshimura forks but i know they did a lot of tuning for suzukis to start out with.

So the question is, do i have some super duper forks or is it just some tarty japanese guy that has put 'Yoshimura' on his forks?

Thanks
Matt Smile Dance!

You could probably sell them on ebay as yoshi forks as some mug would buy them. Wink Laughing
