A lot of the DE (Dealer Editions) came with the full Ohlins package, all GasGas came with Ohlins shocks, and there will always be a discussion, depending on who you're talking to, as to the advantages or disadvantages of the full Ohlins setup. Ohlins is top of the line in many peoples minds, but a competent tuner can have the Shiver/Ohlins setup working very good, even on a side by side with full Ohlins. What I have taken from discussions here is that the Ohlins fork is a 'bling' option, (but a dang nice one IMO).
Definitely not a downside but not necessarily an upside. While I'm not privy to the exact details, I do know the Ohlins fork requires a few special tools for servicing. GMP or one of the other more knowledgeable people may chime in but that gives you something to digest until then

Standard fork on 2000 - 2003 was 43mm WP. Ohlins fork was on 2001 SE models and optional on 2002 & 2003. I don't remember ever seeing Ohlins forks stock on a 2000, but probably was an option (anythings possible with GasGas). I had an 01 and 03 with WP forks and another 03 with Ohlins fork option. Ohlins was MUCH MUCH better than the WP. However, I don't think the performance is any better than the revalved 45mm Shivers I have now. I probably would prefer the Ohlins fork over the Shiver for durability reasons though.
