fair enough it might not be a light bike, but i ride one with the fox40rc2 forks & this baby handles very well jumps very well & is frikken quick for it's weight.

to bad i'm in a leg cast at the moment to continue my enjoyment from riding it though:o

god dang it, i really wanted a fluro green cast so it would match my fluro green googles, at least the blue cast blends in with my tld fullface.:D

What brand are those flat crowns ? Or are they standard Marzocchi ? Any idea what they cost ? I have seen the flat crowns from Aerial ($300 from FTR)

Thanks mate.

And the Glory looks awesome :cool:

Nah they all can use the same crowns.I have 2006 888's that came with a flat crown.I needed a top crown with a drop so i got a 2004 top crown.They are all the same width

Appreciate the information. Good to know. Knowing my luck the stock Marzocchis will be more expensive than the Aerials :D

Again, apologies for the hijack :o
