I stuffed my fork

[JRDoz]

Well everyone, I have been unlucky enough to stuff my left fork tube outer with a large rock and it's damn expensive to replace.. I am weighing up the options of ditching the marzocchi altogether and go for twin chamber Showas from a CRF.. Has anyone done this? Am I mad?
Does anyone have some suggestions.. I priced the outer fork tube at AU$800 approx US$620... That bites...

Yes someone not too long ago posted up about putting Showas on an older GG.

There are also some "part-out" threads going on the For Sale board. I'd think you could get a whole front end cheaper than that fork tube.

Yeah, you could replace the whole set for that price.

Here you go

My friend here in town (Andy Winters, who runs woodsracer dot com) has been doing that for a few years to his KTMs. He swears its the bomb for a rock bike. Give him a shout if you have any questions, tell him I sent you.

I've weighed up the costs.. By the time I get forks down to Australia , resprung and valved to suit and fit it up with triple clamps. I not going down this path... I got hold of an earlier fork tube outer and getting it anodised black to match the other leg.. A few Hundred $$ savings..
