All in all, they're pretty similar to the conventional cartridge models on the H series. Both are better than the conventional damping rod models prior. The USDs do have an advantage of less underhang.

The 1989 - 1992 KDX200 forks use damping rod technology, whereas the 1993 - 1994 USD forks have cartridges.

If you have them revolved , they will work really nice. I know , gold valves will work too.
