Hawk/Enforcer Fork Valve upgrade.

I always thought that the main benefit of the inverted shock is lower unsprung weight (the part attached to the front axle). Is this true, and the only real benefit?

One consequence of an inverted shock is that you can not drain an inverted shock as conveniently since the seal side is down-and this also means when the seal fails, the shock gets drained!

But all that aside, I am sure that the inverted shocks on my storm have the simple orifice holes in the damping rods style which have the problems MegaDan described (years ago!): 1) mushy low impact damping and nose dive braking effect, and 2) hard high impact response

If I measure the OD on my fork tubes, (the part attached to the wheel on my inverted forks) is this the key measurement to predict if the same PD238 fork valve will fit in them?

Maybe a Storm owner with the newer inverted forks knows if these fit?
