I think the new 43mm front forks are these ones from FastAce.

Good point. Personally, I hope they are Showa forks. The Fast Ace forks contain too little oil and seem to take way too much effort to service for my taste. Plus, Zero has moved beyond the "mini-bike" category of vehicles and needs a better fork than one used on a mini-dirt bike. When you get over 400 pounds, you are no longer riding a mini-bike. ::)

If you look at the studio pictures of the new FX there is a close up of the front forks where it is labeled "FastAce".
Going to the FastAce website these were the closest match I could find.

Yeah and there's also a close-up picture of the top of the fork somewhere on Zero website where you could see it still have the "bleed air" screw.... You know the ones we should open after EVERY ride !!! (Page 4.15 on the manual). And also from the pictures it seems that the rear shock is a Fastace, I don't know what have changed there.
Have a safe ride
