Re:

That i do like :!: and even better you ride it AND it gets dirty

absolutely!! No garage queens here

I'm just about to put rc36's on my Zasky so I'm interested In your thoughts

They're a versatile set of forks and with the twin brace theres no flex, which is good if you don't mind your bike being a bit front heavy. What let's the rc36 down for me is that they are really soft. I like them when riding on the saddle but peddling while standing they absorb a fair amount of the energy you put into the bike. I wouldn't recommend rc36's with a medium spring to anyone weighing 10 stone or more and I don't think I'd like to ride this fork long term with anything less than a firm spring either. Hope that helps

Re:

As you can see i'am slightly bias towards the Zaskar , as to the fork just love the the Pace but as you can see my budget does not go that far .

So i don't have the problem of too much travel , but now sporting Spinergy Spox wheels .

Re:

A good set of pace would sell on eBay for as little as £70 if you keep an eye out, they're not wallet busting. Red and silver theme throughout on that 96 would look good

Cheers mate I also have a pair of manitou's and some mags in the garage that I've been working on, both are probably more suitable for a 94 zaskar than the pace, but particularly the mag being the original fork for this bike. I've been looking for a pair that aren't gold or Ti with pitted legs for ages

Yeah finding a pair with the polished gold with water mark damage is tough... Been looking myself for ages... But you can make a set os SL's easy... Just need to source the Ti bolts and bobs your aunty. Wadsy on here is a great man for refurbishing Mags. Im about to send him out a pair to strip down, re-spray and rebuild them back to new. Theres a fella on Ebay with all the TI bits for the Mag SL set up. I made up a set of Black SL's and they look sweet!

Yeah ive seen pictures of his work on the forum, and it looks top notch, he also had a refurbished pair of SL's for sale for around 200 quid not long ago but i was too slow and they got sold to somebody else. :facepalm:
My ones are fitted with the titanium bits, like you say to make a set of SL's and painted is better anyway because theres no worry about the magnesium pitting under the lacquer, and i dont see any other differences between the mag and magSL :?

mine got the silver legs which i prefer to the more common gold, got no steerer tube or crown for em yet though...
