Looks like they belong to some sort of motocross bike. Start by measuring the diameter of the chrome slider tubes. See if there is a sticker on there to tell who manufactured the forks. They look like showas to me, but I'm no dirtbike expert. See if there is a part number on anything, tubes, triple clamps, whatever. Try looking under the triple clamps, that would be the obvious place to find a part number. Hope that helps.

There you go. Showa forks from a Suzuki RM 125. If you could just figure out what year, you would be all set. I suggest hitting the dirtbike forums for a little research if you want to get top dollar. I have no advice to offer on dirtbike forks. You could also watch ebay auctions for similar forks for a while. That would tell you what people are paying.
