    I need to know what year Huskys these forks came on? I know for sure 1997 and 1998 but I have heard other models and years came with them as well.
    I’m also looking for any suspension experts that know these forks really well or a contact at Marzocchi that could help me out with some questions.

    I am working on a project to transfer the internals of a 50mm Marzocchi Magnum to the aprila caponord forks. In Europe you could buy a rally raid version of the caponord with 50mm forks that apparently they use the same internals as the 50mm magnum. They may even use the same tubes but I’m not sure. The std version of the caponord came with 50mm damper rod forks that use the same lower as the rally version with cartridges. The rally version were limited to 200mm of travel.
    The plan is to take the cartridges out, limit them to 200mm of travel and bolt them into the caponord lower tubes with the magnum 50mm tubes.
