Specs on the non-adjustable Marzocchi forks?

[the_Journeyman]

I found mine on ebay, new in box for a Monster 900 in a kit with front springs, a rear spring, & an container of oil.  They were slightly shorter than the stock springs, about an inch.  I made the difference with a longer shim and they work fine.  I just change my shim because the were TOO stiff.

I didnt want to start yet another thread on Monster fork upgrades/what-forks-fit-my-bike, so I decided to post here...

Ive been talking with Traxxion - I was originally planning to go the "cheap" route and upgrade everything in my crappy nonadjustable Marzocchi forks (valves, springs, preload adjustable caps if they were available) since fully adjustable Monster forks were quite a lot and sometimes hard to find.  Basically Traxxion said redoing valves was pointless on the Marzocchis, and preload adjustable caps require their drop in cartridge kit (around $1000).  Springs and oil are the only worthwhile upgrade. 
So now I am back to wanting to get fully adjustable Monster forks...

I want an easy mod, bolt and go, so which forks require me to ONLY get forks and be done with it?

you do want to stay with a monster fork as a donor due to length. St forks and SS forks fit but are an inch or so longer, I have a set of SS forks on one of my bikes and the tubes are very proud of the top tree. If you have clip-ons it is okay but it still does not look quite right.

Keep in mind even the fully adjustable forks still need springs minimum and depending on where/how you ride, valves.

good luck

I have a 2002 M750S with the nonadjustable 43mm Marzocchis.

Anyone know if the S2R1k, S4, or S4R Monster forks (fully adjustable) are compatible with my triple, wheel, rotors, calipers, etc?
Is there anything I should know, or need to buy OTHER than forks, to do the swap?

Thanks

I do plan on replacing the springs.  Maybe valves, but I dont take my Monster to the track and dont ride that hard on the street.

If you have a hollow front axle the forks should be a direct bolt on. some of the newer monster forks are shorter but I think that your model may be the shorter size already.
to be sure measure your fork length unloaded and just  compare.
