Rock Shox - need to identify?

ribbit

Dirt Disciple
Can anyone help with identification on these forks? They came on an old GT Zaskar I acquired for renovation.

The only label on there says Rock Shox Long Travel (other labels have come off, possibly with name on?)
There is a serial number on them - 0931805009 - this is on a label and stamped into the metal too
The exposed part of stanchions are 150mm
Springs are 166mm long (yellow in right fork, red in left)

Just want to know if they are worth bothering with and if a refurb kit is available. Pics below.







 
Indy C.

And you might want to drop the stancions in the crown so they're flush with the top. I'd be worried about the tire buzzing the brace with them set that high up.
 
Re:

Indy's had a bonded crown didn't they?

I'd of said they are repainted Quadra 21R's.

I did wonder why they had dropped the crown on the stanchions like that - I know some motorcyclist do that to change the handling characteristics of the bike, but never seen it on a bicycle?
 
Re:

From the service videos I have seen, the Indy C had elastomer inserts - these haven't?
 
RS sold Indy Spring kits. There's a dozen of them hanging on the sus parts wall at my LBS.
 
Re:

They are ~99ish RS Jett XC, long travel version with 75mm of suspension. They are Hydracoil damping system forks(fully oil bath). There's a difference between the innards of the legs (plunger vs damper). Other side is handling rebound and the other compression damping . You can tune the damping by changing the oil viscosity a little. I have these forks on one of my bikes and they work nicely, much better than elastomers etc. I've serviced them couple of times, its easy but you need a very long 6mm hex extension to reach in bottom bolts.

edit:

Forgot the manual. Follow that, and you shall be saved.
