[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 24595, member: 17220"] Guy's I don't actually have any exsperience with the Works Showa stuff. So this is purely speculation. The twinchamber forks have a couple of flaws that I can see this is why many people preffer KYB's over Showas... The bigger tubes on say LARockets bike alow for more diameter internaly wich would be good. The standard 23mm Cartridge is working aginst a failry stiff internal spriung to prevent cavation, and improve constitency. The KYB's actually caviate(Until the air spring takes over) for the first say 1/3 or soo of travel. This reducing percieved damping. Most amertuer level riders preefer this. However most expert level riders preffer are more cosistent action, and will trade the forgiving nature of the KYB for a always consistent feel of the twin chammber. Now a larger cartridge in the twin chammber would allow a less sen tstive midvalve set-up and would also improve the hydraulic chartachter.. So the forks could be a little more forgiving, yet maintain the consistency that many riders like... Couple of quick points: Showa Forks stock can be made to work very well: KYB's bladder fork is a design that is focused on chnaging the negative KYB characteristics to more favorable twin chammber traits, while still not having hydraulic issues of the Showa..
