    Couple questions, are these the same as the WR250/300 forks, and all the other KYB's that husky started putting on in 10'? Just trying to figure out what info translates to my forks. Also, any advice on them appreciated.

    I think the CR-TC-Txc are Closed and everthing else is open chamber.

    look at the fork cap.

    if it has a big cap around a small cap it is a Twin.

    if it has a simple cap you can remove with a 17mm box wrench it is a single

    twin=closed?

    singe=open?

    Are one or both considered "AOS"?

    yes that's correct.

    Don't know what AOS is.

    Then the twin is AOS.

    I think the AOSS and SSS visually look identical, but the internals differ. The SSS stuff is the speed sensitive tech like Showa pioneered or so I've been told.
    Here's a pic of AOSS (top) and SSS

    I think all previous KYB's forks were open chambered, so its gotta be one or the other. I'm guessing Husky put the aoss forks on cause nobody seems to be gushing about them like they do about the sss forks.

    I like em better stock than my 50 closed, and I'm light for the springs, so far they are plusher but don't bottom as easy, I'm beating on them indoors tonight :)
