 Ohlins or Marzocchi design #1 or design #2 ?

[pete roper]

If it's a LeMans I thought they all had Marzocchis?

[gstallons]

As long as they weren't swapped out .

I'm not near anything to dhow you the difference . the fork caps are visibly different . Hopefully someone will show pics . I found this out when I ordered seals , bushings , etc . for mine . The 2002/2003ish V11 Sport . I can't remember if the bare aluminum / black upper fork is a factor  or not .

Good point, here. Early V11 (1999-2002 + early-2003-carryovers) are smaller diameter forks than the later V11 Marzocchi  . . .

Is it 41 mm, then 43 mm?

Either way, the 2002 Tenni should be the early V11 Marzocchi  spec . . . , yes?

I'm going to digress slightly here; I'm searching for seals & dust caps for my Griso & rather than use OEM wanted to try SKF seals, which I've heard good things about. But I haven't found a source yet. Any pointers ?

[gstallons]

Whatever you do , make sure you do NOT damage the bore of the fork where the seal goes into the fork tube . When you install , lube everything liberally going back together . Use the be$t fluid and measure it exact when it goes together, use good towels & gloves to keep ANYTHING foreign away .  Don't be upset if they leak . They will do this for about a month or two .

Mmmmm . If you can get #s , you can see about different brands . Check different vendors and see what they have to offer . Unless there is something super out there , I would go back w/OEM .
