Bollo, as they boys have said. Their standard forks. The later models (which you have) are great job when set up.
Rick Oliver sells a kit about £80 which is great.

Yes.
There NOT 1989 forks.
There later (1990 >) Cartridge type forks.
They are much better than the early type as they are two way adjustable.
If you want to keep those forks there are a few things you can do, have them overhauled and professionaly setup to your weight.
If they are stock inside they are probably well worn by now.
A good fork to start with.
Depends on money but from that peroid they are a good starting point.

Don't bother changing them no other stock 41mm forks are any better and they can be made to work very well on track.
Just get correct springs (racetech sell them) give them a good clean then new fluid, seals and bushes (genuine honda only) and they'll be great on track.
