    Marzocchi Magnum 45 from mid 90's GasGas. Probably not what the purists like to see but i use my bike for some serious events and at my age and a bad back I need all the help I can get:oldman:

    I'll put a couple of photo's on tomorrow of one I've just done. It's not a massive job but certainly worth while. An easier method is to use the 45mm conventional Forks and triple clamp from the late 90's Husky's, I believe they are identical to Marzocchi's, and these bolt straight on.

    you are probably correct, but thanks for documenting that these will match up as well..

    GasGas triple clamps after Husky stem installed, there is one spacer which goes under the top clamp and another which is more of an insert in the top clamp. These two are shown in the next thread.

    Next two are of the spacer in the top clamp and the last photo shows my 82 Auto with the 1997/8 Husky triple clamp which bolts straight on with no modification needed at all. I just prefer the look of the billet GasGas clamps which is why I went down that route.

    Been a busy week, Wednesday was taken up with building a 250 motor from scratch utilising many and various parts from the man cave. All new bearings and seals duly installed and a fresh piston from Andy (HVA) plus rebore at my local machine shop.

    Thursday... take one perfectly good 500 Auto and reduce it to a pile of bits,

    IMG_0373.JPG

    Thursday was spent putting finished 250 motor in and rebuilding everything.

    Friday was spent firing her up, running in the fresh piston and getting the carburation somewhere near right.
    Today (saturday) was putting spent installing new Enduro tyres and general tidying and sorting, all good to go now and monday will be spent loading up the van for the 2500 mile round trip, can't wait!
