I bought a pair of Showa non-adjustable forks with the 65mm caliper spacing for £130 - surely it's a better option to go with the *better* forks as well as better brakes?

There's a pair on ebay at Buy It Now for £199, a front left-hand for £43 BIN (bargain if you can find a right-hand one!), a pair with yokes in the States for £179 BIN, a BRAND NEW set in Holland for £400 BIN or a VERY nice set of new Ohlins to fit from the DP catalogue - a snip at £2,000 !! There are also quite a few pairs that were more expensive.

They are out there and imho you'd be better off with these than the old Marzocchi leaky seals forks!
