    Evidence against USD forks

    Ladies and gentlemen of the court,

    Evidence has come to light, for appeal against Skidmarks overwhelming wank wank over Upside down forks (USDs)


    Last weekend I noticed the usually awesome brakes on the TL werent so Awesome.

    5 days later I realised Ive gone and got a farked fork seal on the right side.

    What has happened is that the oil has pissed out all over my right disk, rendering it completely useless.

    Not only that but on USDs, due to gravity, the oil gets flung downwards far easier, making a perished seal much harder to detect.

    Of course with shit normal way up forks (NWUs) the oil tends to stay on the shiny bit, and is very difficult to drip and fling all over the discs.

    I rest my case.

    Discuss.

    3 things.

    Ain't no ladies here - they're all Bitches with big sticky beaks.

    stock TL's don't have awesome brakes, they're shit.

    5 farkin days with your eyes closed, no wonder you get pulled over all the time - open your eyes sonny.

    Case closed.

    Are USD's not so effective over bumps?

    Why do Motocrossers have them then?

    It was with dawning amazement that I realised that my forks are acutally just there for decoration. So I filled them up solid and welded them fast. Makes stoppies hard though.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.

    USD forks create less unpsrung weight making your bike handle far better. They make you corner better stop faster and pretty much improve the whole ride.
