So often they send out a generic, one color fits all fork.
I just talked to my dealer about 1 hour ago. So here is how it will go according to his specialized rep. If you got your bike on the "list" right away with your dealer you will get the first run of forks. The first recall was back in December I think it was. He said probably by the end of this month. If you are just getting on the list after the first recall so after the first of the year claims you will not get a fork until the end of March now or April. I am on the first run thank goodness!! I would be pretty upset if I had to wait until April to ride my brand new bike! They have to fill 40,000 forks at the moment with bikes that were already sold and sitting at dealers waiting to be sold. There were only 13,000 sold before the recall, very small amount and those will be first priority for the dealers if they got on the "magic list" early enough.
YES, I am glad I will get matching forks. Last time there was a massive fork recall everyone got unpainted forks and you got what you got...I would have been mad as heck if that would have happened to me!
