Right on.Maybe some valving differences and springs but hard parts all the same and mix and match ya think? Is the fork any good? What do people mostly think of the early WP-43?

It has been my experience (and others have commented) that they are junk.
Very harsh and revalving/springs did not help a great deal.
It had the same complaints with the WP's on my '00 KTM. Although, Bruce Tripplet transformed them the best with his "terrain tamer" setup but not a big enough improvement for me to shell out $$ for the same on the 01 Gasser. A swap to the Ohlins forks of the day is a huge improvement. There are others who swapped them out for Jap suspenders with good results as well.

You can revalve and change springs, but IMO you will never be able to make them great.
