Title: Question on Marzocchi shocks
Post by: rich allison on April 27, 2010, 07:26:27 AM
Came upon one of those barn finds we are all looking for,4 bultacos and a honda step thru unfortunatly no Pentons. There is a 74 200 Pursang MK 8 with what look like marzocchi air shocks. They look to be in pretty good shape, can anybody tell me anything about these. Probably will ebay the bike, should I keep the shocks?   thanks Rich

I think oem would have been Betor remote reservoirs. At that time I'm pretty sure Franco required all parts on Spanish bikes to be made in Spain. I have them on my Frontera and they are so-so. Yours Could have been swapped out of course.

Hey Rich, If they are zook`s,they should have a air fill valve on the reservoir,Betors were sealed.4 Buls? Did ya find one of Crandall`s lost stashes?   Bill     P.S. The Piner is doing fine.

Yes they do have the air valves, how much air? Crandall was down the next day after I brought them home trying to talk me out of the Campera and the Tyron, looks like a Mini Sherpa T. Of all the bikes I've rebuilt and sold I still regret selling the Piner, but I'm glad its been a good bike for you.   Rich

I offer rebuild kits for the Marzocchi shocks if you are going to keep them.
