It was actually mid-April '03, so you have the aluminum forks.

You will never have to be concerned about your shift forks if...

(1) you keep your clutch fluid pristine according to the protocol; pedal woes cause most tranny damage.

(2) you practice shifting drills

(3) you refrain from powershifting which rarely is rewarded at the track anyway

(4) and because of (1) and (2) and (3), you don't miss shifts

Just a thought.
