Default Front forks?

I just aquired a 2005 ec250 and I was wondering, how can I tell what front forks I have? They are gold in color so I'm thinking ohlins? I don't have a caliper to measure them. When they say 45mm, is that measured at the triple tree? Thanks guys. So far this forum and the people in it has been the most helpful forum with the friendliest people in it I've ever joined. Thank you guys for all the help.

I can not tell from the small photo. While it is possible that they could be Ohlins, I think they are likely Marzocchi (Zokes). Measure the silver / stainless fork tube not fork body at the clamp.

Yeah sorry it was a screen shot from one of my videos. I'm heading up there soon so I'll take a proper photo.

Pretty sure the Marzocchi would have been black not gold. Could be KYB's with Gas Gas triple clamps.

The Olhins appear to have a black dust seal at the bottom of the upper fork and are a darker gold, if I'm correct the KYB don't, I'd have to look at my bike.

It could be 50mm Zokes from a MC250 If that's Jims old bike.

I own a 2004 EC200 with gold Zokes, but I did not buy it new so who know what happened before I bought it.

Couldn't get a measurement. If it is Jim's old bike, that would be pretty awesome. Do you know what Jim's number was?

It is hard to tell. Can you provide a few photos that shows more of the forks including the top caps.
