Marzocchi Bomber Z1 - Guess the Year!

[revok]

Hi

I'm looking for some help putting a year to a set of Bomber Z1's.

I'd like to get them working again and put to use but they need a service and some spares before that's going to happen.

If the spares are easy enough to come by I might even get them repainted.

I have taken a look at the Marzocchi site and I'm a bit bewildered as to how to put a date and version on them. I've attached a few photos in the hope it helps. Any info you guys can put my way would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Re:

They're 1997, the first year the Z1 was available for general release, A classic and a king amongst forks IMHO.

Thanks for the help KF.

I'll make some calls and see if I can get them working again.

Re:

Made in 96, it says on the back of the brace

But yes a 1997 model

Ive serviced a fair number. A damn good fork
Seals are available on ebay from time to time(nos originals) or ENDURO ,who sell replacements. Which are probably better.
