Default How do I identify forks?

Does anyone know of any markings on the front forks which identify that they were fitted to a Hurricane? I have no idea if they are the originals or not & the seals will need replacing soon! Here's a pic of the front end.

Cheers lads

A picture of the fork tops will help, as the earlier model had adjusting screws, any idea what year the bike is?

A picture of the calipers would help also.

I agree. That looks like the factory front end (tubes, wheels, rotors, fender and calipers).

The triple trees and body work are up for grabs however.

Just been looking around for the seal kit for an 87 & I notice that its the same one from 87 to 99 according to a reputable UK spares supplier. Genuine part no
51490-MN8-305. Was a bit surprised at this being the case!
