Even rebuild kits (which were available up to a couple of years back) are like hens teeth now. There are sources in Italy though (for the seals) if you can get hold of the shocks themselves :wink:

Marzocchi are still in business, some Ducatis come new with Marzocchi forks, thogh I doubt if they still make spares for Stradas.

I was aware of that place, its the one I alluded to - but I never actually bought anything from them. It is isn't the clearest site I have been on, and although they appear to show seals - they are not like the comprehensive full rebuild kits that were available up to a couple/3 years or so back. That was when Marzocchi went under (again) and then as said in this thread, they reformed in part - but not covering the old Strada stuff sadly.

I managed to buy a spare rebuild kit after Marzocchi had gone again, just in case I ever need to rebuild mine, but it was not cheap. I paid about 65 quid for mine IIRC. I though it was expensive at that lol, but maybe not. I thought they were about 30 quid when they were plentiful ...

There is one on Ebay now - but the seller wants 202 quid for it !!!

There is a part kit at about 80 quid ..plus import duties from Oz

There is another guy that keeps trying to sell a kit at about 130/150 quid too - its not on at the moment, but he's run it through half a dozen times without it selling, so its due soon
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)
