450 Mark 3 Fork Springs
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 3:26 am
Hi All,
When I using my 450 in Europe I found myself bottoming out my front forks from time to time. These are the 35mm Marzocchi forks on a late (1974) 450 Mark 3. I saw a new set of original springs available quite cheaply that might be a useful thing to have on hand when I take them apart but I dont have specs for them in any widecase parts manual I have. I'm not really sure that the springs are likely to be the main issue to be honest, but for $30 it might be useful to have them to hand just in case.
Does anyone know the standard length of them?
Has anyone used alternative aftermarket solutions that may be better?
Thanks,
Kev
