What's the serial number on it?

2007 - 2008 maybe, but like cobba mentioned, serial number will help narrow down the year of manufacture.

The fact that it's 32mm and a Pike 454 tells you everything you need to know for servicing. Go match up the decals with the service manuals on the RockShox site and you are all set.
The first number after the T in the serial number is the last digit of the year it was built. '8' on that fork would be 2008 as there haven't been any 35mm chassis Pike forks before 2014 serials...

They mightn't be original stickers.

It's probably on that sticker on the steering tube, with more recent models, it will be on the back of the crown.

Rockshox Serial Number Year Model

  • Rockshox Monarch identification. posted in Tech Q&A: How do I know for certain which model of Monarch do I have, RT3, RT or RL. Which approximate year model would it be? It looks similar to the one pictured, and ser. # starts with 50T200. All the decals has been removed from mine, except M/M (tune state), when I got it 2nd hand.
  • Rockshox Serial Number Year; CONSUMER ALERT RockShox Authentication Notice SRAM has seen a considerable increase in RockShox branded suspension forks sold online with the product serial number scratched off of the fork crown. Forks with scratched off serial numbers could be potentially dangerous to use and are not covered by the SRAM Warranty.
  • Apparently the 5th and 6th digit of your serial number give you an approximation of the year of your fork. Mine is a 37T10., which means it was manufactured in 2010, and Rockshox support told me it was a 2011 fork. In the end, there's not a good way to tell what kit you need, unless you know for sure what year your fork is from.
