Bitubo cartridges for Marzochi non adjustable forks (did we not see this?)

[junior varsity]

hold on - supersport kit meaning supersport legal (racing) (as i understand it - i don't know all the rules, i'm just a spectator), not SS as in Ducati 800SS - i think we may be getting things confused a bit.


for the front end, a stiff/rigid lower triple is the key maker. the newest IMA triples for the SBKs are really impressive and using lots of research and development. the top allows some designed-in/controlled flex to reduce chattering, while the lower is rigid (though machined to be lightweight). Also, it has adjustable offset - you can change it at your whim. Labor intensive whim, but whim.

The IMA triples I have really are well made. I have a set on both M900's. They make them for the pre-02 stem-style and the post-02 stem style, and have accommodations for bars (either tapered bars from the bigger disp monsters or the normal bars from the smaller disp monsters). Same offset as the triples on the 2002-newer Monsters, like the M800 / S2R

AND, if you have an ancient monster (98-99) AND you happen to have the old school fairing / brackets, you can mount it up because the triple clamp bolt location is the same as the stockers on the old Monsters. And it has the mount holes for the brake manifold if you still have the 3-line front setup, and mounts for the old school monster turn signal bracketry.

And you can get them bored for any fork diameter you can imagine. All the way up to 58mm for something like.. hell.. I don't know... top shelf marzocchi?

I guess it would be new 999 calipers and new rotors for me.  Still running the stock S2R800 baby calipers with ze flat rotorz.    This may be a Christmas treat for Jarv

Looks like I'll be going with the AK-20 setup when the time comes to upgrade my wife's M620.  She's happy with the front end as-is, so all of our current mod budget is going into my bike, but at some point I'm gonna be overcome with guilt and just go ahead with new fork internals and a better shock...

I do really wish that Bitubo had one of their kits with the super-smexy fork caps available for the non-adj forks, though.  I think that they'd look right at home on her red Italian beauty.
