Marzocchi has closed it's doors.

Chilly is reporting that they have closed for good.Wonder how long you can still get parts? Factory said they would provide thru the end of the year. ......

If it's true, it's bad news for Italian and euro bike companies, like AJP. I was hoping for some sweet zokes on the new pr7

man..that sucks. I have the PFP 48's in my KYB tubes. Wonder what all this means when it comes to getting parts etc...??

WTF? Now what?

WELL LETS HOPE WE GET PAIOLI'S INSTEAD OF WP

No kidding. WP would be the last I'd pick, but as powerful as they are I wouldn't be surprised.

Mine might be trashed tomorrow but I've only needed 1 part with ~6 3 bikes running them a several few yrs and don't expect to need a part unless I bust them up ... With that said, if I do go inside them, I'll keep this in mind ... The 1 part I needed was my fault and the bent part is still working ... I'm not sweating this just yet ... Just business it sounds like to me ... Huskies run WP today ...

And yes when I was in the work force, I've been told my services are not needed anymore and that always worked out for me also ... Hitting the hay now ..Got another big day starting early AM with the stock Marzocchis KYBs leading the way ...

Correct ... on the bike count above ... I like the stock KYBs and they will be leading the way tomorrow ... Its's late here ...Good night to all in my time zone ...

Aren't PAIOLI'S what christini puts on their bikes? Who else puts them on stock?

my dads titan [fake Harley] had them they show up on a trials bike now and again but if theres no more zokes i bet we will start seeing more of'em

I do know what a Christini bike is and thought the dirt bike riding world might go that 2-wheel drive way but apparently not .. Never ever heard of the fork brand you guys are talking about.

In most cases, not all cases, any good technology\idea is not easy to eradicate .... I'll use 2t dirt bike engines as my example there and would not be surprised to see Marzocchi clones or someone buy what technology they have ... But maybe not as the Japan bikes and SP see something other and they drive our dirt biking world pretty much. (Looks like a good point to get off this one.)

Maybe Volkswagen will pick up the slack, like they've done with the other companies that Tenneco ran into the ground
