I have an early pair of forks for the single disc that have been set up for an 11 stone rider.

Bradders is a good lad. Sorting me out with a set of forks. But what's a good base setting in regards to oil and air gap??

In the workshop manual for Showa forks its 440cc and 108mm gap, and for Marzocchi, 390cc and 90mm gap to top of leg. What actually goes in there is one of the so called 'Black Arts'. I've got 100mm gap, why?, thats where Woods set it, seems o,k comresses down to 20mm from bottoming out.

Which Marzocchis is that Pete, the early 600 ones (up to 1999) or the later ones from the 2000/2001 Monster 600 and carried on into the Monster 620/800s
