I can measure my old shocks but they are stuck in the garage about 1 mile away.

No idea Ken but I'm sure Graham has got some here he can measure.

One part I do need is a decent set of rear shocks, I have some Marzocchi Strada piggybacks in bits but they need seals and no one has them anymore.
I might have to buy a pair of these, I'd prefer something like Koni but again finding a set in great nick can be hard.

Hi oddjob,
I recently bought some second hand Marzocchi shock very cheap and took the chance that I would be able to strip and recondition them, after lots of searching I found a dealer in Italy that has lots of nos Marzocchi stock, his shop is called Tecnomotors, not sure of website address but I can find it,
Picture of rebuilt shock with new seal kit fitted, I also got some new Marzocchi decals from Ebay

Thats true Oddjob, but I personally like the look of the half shrouds and whilst I like to keep my bike fairly original, its never going to be a concours example.
