Yes, I am considering these forks for my Zongshen Sierra 200 (ZS200GY-2). The Zong's original forks are in good condition, and working well. However, I have never liked the "hocky puck" brake caliper on the front wheel; it is very poorly designed. After about 82,000 miles, this brake caliper still stops my bike, but it clatters all the time while riding technical terrain, and sometimes even screeches. It is not damaging the brake rotor, but I am tired of listening to it chatter away.
The new forks are a different design from my original ZS200GY-2 forks. The new forks will accomodate the newer, better, front brake caliper which comes with the newer Chinese, dual sport bikes.
I can buy a new, "hocky puck" brake caliper from Taobao for about $10, plus shipping. But I am seriously considering the switch to new forks, and the newer brake caliper, shown below.
