they used to be a big aftermarket MotoX brand back in the mid 90's, made high performance expansion chambers, silences, bearing kits, forks etc etc... havnt heard anything about them in years except about their pushy forks... i used to have one of their pipes on my YZinger, it went off its tits
Yeh, white brothers changed owners quite a few times, so they sorta just vanished off the scene.

White Brothers used to be called White Power but they had to change their name due to people in the States complaining they sounded like white supremisists.

no...white bros is and allways has been white bros.... white power is still a fork manufacturer under the name of wp suspension ( as seen on ktms) they are 2 different companie's... the white in the name is just a coincidence... or so i was told and "whats with the reservouir" its a piggy back set up like a rear shock...spring/s in one side and damping in the other side....i've got a fox vanilla dh shock body on mine as the reservouir with the fox piston set up aswell... just a try out upgrade i got from dirtworks a while ago.... they are sick forks when set up properly, still easily compare with dorado's in performance, they used to be around everywhere as ud180's and 150's but when the dh<3's came out i think they were a bit expensive for most riders of those days.I love my ones but i've got custom bushes, and a dual spring set up so they are bottom resistant

no one imports the forks anymore... but when mine were bought the retail was $3700 here but the guy that bought mine got them for like $2300 shipped from the US (in aud) i've seen these forks as old stock and trying to be sold for $700 US now in a few magazines, i dont think there much different to the new ones , just the new ones are white. so i dont really know about the new ones pricing but you need to get them shipped over if you want a set... its well worth it though
