Pomps, I have db5 spec sheet in front of me and says 50mm in fact I quote "Forcella Marzocchi a steli revesciati da 50mm"

Which model is it as they might have changed between the the s and re.

Just read else where that 43mm, To be honest this sounds more plausible.

Bike still not delivered but no worries as I'm not there. Just have to be patient but thanks for the tips as always. It was the original test bike so it may be either or? Will keep you posted. Wink

DB5 mounted in its history three type of works:
- first series of DB5 (1000cc engine, single seat) Ohlins %%c43mm
- second series of DB5 (1000cc engine, single seat) Marzocchi with DLC 43mm diameter
- third series of DB5 (1100cc engine, double seat) Marzocchi with TiN 50mm diameter.

But it is possbile that some cross was made
