These are interesting. I've been wanting to upgrade my front suspension for a while now, and was considering the Showa internals offered by Cosentino Engineering. Gonna have to look further into these.

Seems like something else to do with Nortons stopped manufacturing some time around 1975 or 1976. We've gotten by.britbike220 said:I have a couple questions after thinking on this. If you are going to retire fairly soon, what are the support options going to be for these units? Are parts going to be available, technical questions answered and possible upgrades available periodically?
