Front end swap - Need help identifying this set of RSU.

[c&c]

Hi

I'm preparing this whinter's rebuild and need help identifying this front end.
I'm still debating RSU or USD in my head. I find the bike below to be very cool and it's RSU forks look like thy belong on it.

Does anyone recognize the forks make model year?


Thank you

Looking at the brakes I'm inclined to say Hyabusa although the GSXR also used those 6 pots for a year or so...

Definitely not a Hayabusa front end, although the calipers could be. That doesn't really look like an USD fork to me. Very strange fork. The tubes in the triple trees look too small diameter to be sliders. The blue bottom part looks too small to be a slider and too big to be a tube.

I found them, they are BIMOTA DB3 MANTRA forks.

I have found 5 makes/sources for modern RSU / RWU forks:
I think I'll go with modern RSU forrks on mine. I love the Beefy look.
