    Has anyone looked or found white lower fork guards for the Marzocchi Shiver forks?

    45 or 50mm? The new SMS630 has white ones on 45mm forks. Not aware of 50mm versions.

    50mm marzocchi Shivers use Honda fork guards

    That's the second tip on the Honda guards. Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure they are anyway!! We bought a set of 50mm Marzocchi Shivers for our CRF450 and they came with Honda fork guards. We looked at other forks while at Marzocchi and they all had Honda fork guards. Available in white red and black

    Polisport has them too. Gofasters for Gas Gas has white Polisport guards that are a full wrap around much like the 2010 KTM fork guard. I think they have them in red and black as well.

    Yeh you're right, a few people over here ran KTM fork guards on their Hondas

    Figure I will mention this so someone 5 years from now doesn't end up with guards that don't fit...like me! The white guards for the sms630 do not fit the 45mm shivers from a 2000 wr250. There may be some other configuration out there, but if you have two parallel bolts in the front of the guard, these won't work. I'll post pics tomorrow. The sms guards (part number to follow) look like they may fit on WP forks.

    Okay, fork guards 80C0A8482 and 80C0A8481 from the 2011 sms630 look to fit the kyb forks based on the bolt pattern. This matches with the other guards on that page that are used on the later WRs with KYB forks like the 2013.

    The drawing for the SMS looks like the guards would be correct, but what arrives matches the drawing for the WR. I guess I should say the forks they fit look like the forks in the WR drawing. They draw the guards the same in both.

    The SMS guards may be shorter since the forks have less travel. I will measure mine next trip out to the shop. Cam.

    Can you also snap a pic of yours? The ones I received are not going to bolt up to the 45mm Shivers I have.

    Okay, those are definitely a no go on most 45mm shivers. The two front guard bolts on most 45mm will be parallel.

    If you have horizonal axle clamp bolts, not right. If you have the more vertical clamp bolts, correct. I'd bet those would fit the WP forks too. Will look when I go out in the morning.

    The two front bolts are parallel but don't look it on the pics. Cam

    I can pull one and measure better if you need. Not sure what model of marzocchi is on there

    Maybe those are 50mm?

    This is the guard next to a 45mm

    This is the guard next to a ktm 48mm

    20180113_100505.jpg

    These are the ktm and sms guards next to each other

    I guess I now have white non-wrap guards for my ktm. :-)

    When I was looking for SKF seal kit I noticed the SKF site had listed all the bike models that used the same seals. I've got 48mm KYB and assume I could use guards from any other bike models listed. :cheers:

    That may work sometimes, but I'd imagine a bit of that is coincidence. That said, the 45mm showas from 92-94 use the same guards as the 45mm shivers (or at least some of them), but I'd imagine the same guard is used on the '95 43mm showa. On the other hand, the 43mm WP on my last KTM did not use the same guards as the showa. And as we have covered (I think), 48mm wp and 50mm zokes use the same guards -- and *some* 45mm zokes?

    Maybe use the skf list as a place to start checking?
