Help with Model of Marzocchi Bombers

[Factualgnome]

Hi all,

i purchased a bike and it came with these shocks on. They are in a bad way and need stripping (or burning) but i'm not good with Bombers, and using Inspector google i cant seem to find any that match the 2 adjusters on top.

Any help will be majical!

TIA

2005 Marathons have a crown with cut outs like that... so could be... maybe

no disc brake mount and clamp on stanchions make it an early model.

I disagree - the early ones had bolted-on arches. Only later did they go one-piece with the M shape styling. I wonder if it has been repainted with the disc mounts ground off just to befuddle us.

2004 MX comp have them caps ?
Maybe a mix of fork as caps are caps if they do the same job?


Is there a date dial anywhere ?

Re:

If they're like other bombers I have worked on they'll be easy to fettle with

Pre 2007 marzocchis are good. Keep them, they go on for years. Easy to service, by undoing the two foot nuts at bottom of fork to release the lowers to change oil, seals if needed. Had plenty of marzocchis and are a great fork. Prefer them to rockshox and horrible (service every 30 hours ) fox crap.
