Desperately Need Ohlins Top Cap 48mm Fork

[risk74]

Need the aluminum fork cap that screws into the top of the fork ASAP. Will consider purchasing complete forks for parts as well. 2004 EC300 W/Ohlins fork. Thank you.

Playing phone tag with Ohlins USA. No luck elsewhere. Still looking.

And according to Ohlins the serial numbers on the fork feet have never been in their system. Anybody got 48mm Ohlins on their bike they can get me the serial numbers from?

And screwed. Part # is obsolete, sold out. Anybody got any ideas?

Basically what happened is the internal threads of the cap that screw on to the damping rod have pulled out, I thought about heli-coiling, but it is a very screwy size 12mm x .80 thread pitch and I can't seem to find anything.

I have a very good local machine shop that will make anything. If you can't find anybody local to you. Try these guys in Richmond. Clay is a wizard. Tell him Matt Hadfield sent you.

Have you tried overseas? What is the serial number on the bottom of the fork legs?

The Ohlins site doesn't show that they had a fork for the 2004 Gassers so is there a chance that it has come from another year model or even another brand?

I got the part # for the cap, which Ohlins tells me is discontinued and sold out.

Atom Bomb is in Richmond. His name is Clay. He was from Roanoke and is amazing. If you go to his shop let him show you around. Also he's done cars and has a Chip Foose award from the Detroit Auto Show from several years ago.

I have another local guy who is good as well. But I know Richmond is closer to you.

I guess my post was a little confusing.

I'm confused most of the time anyways, too many years of two stroke fumes!

I've got a set of 45mm Marzocchis and the triple clamps from a 2011 XC 250. I don't know if they would bolt up but I'm sure somebody around here knows. If you're interested drop me a line.

Thanks for the offer. I've got a set of 45mm shivers with clamps I tried out before fixing the Ohlins. Definitely prefer the Ohlins. Thanks.
