Hi all I need to change the RHS fork leg on my 97 M900 fitted with Marzocchi adjustable forks. The chrome has some damage and a new seal is now leaking. I know, I should have known it wouldn't work! the damage appears to be from something hitting the leg, it's not pitted from rust. I know this is the Left leg, I don't have an image handy of the Right. I know they are not the best forks, but they are good enough for me, and trying to find a set of adjustable Showas isn't easy. Unless I can find a leg and bottom casting somewhere I'm going to have to buy one of these: https://www.carpimoto.it/en-GB/Bike...cati-Monster-900-upside-down-Marzocchi-40.htm Can somebody confirm the bottom casting on these just unscrews from the leg after removing the grub screw? I can't see a thread on the leg in the link above, and I tried last night on a damaged spare leg I have and it wasn't moving. Even heating the casting didn't help. Thanks Nasher
Or, does anyone have a Knackered leg with a good bottom casting that I could use on a new leg? Need a spare in case unscrewing it goes wrong. Nasher
m not familiar with these particular forks but the bottoms must be separable somehow. Perhaps you could contact the suppliers of the fork tubes and ask how they are attached.
Thanks I did send the question over to them yesterday via their website, but haven't heard anything. If they are like most companies I will probably not hear anything. I agree they must be a separate part, but old Ducati parts diagrams only show them available with the casting attached. So they could be a press it or something. Nasher.
I can’t see the damage but if it’s minor you can apply loctite super glue and smooth it with wet and dry paper once dry, it works on minor pits and abrasions.
