Personally I would say the forks failed on the underneath where the Fork clamps onto the spindle , that will be the weakest point as that is where the least material is , or the end sheared off the fork legs from all the stress being applied to it .

Apparantly the 03-04 forks have that problemof splitting.

A company called fullthrottleinc have a way of machining the forks to stop this from happening.
