Help Naming That Damper ....

[tjums]

A couple of years ago I bought an old Fantic 200. It had been stored in a sheed for 10 years or more.
 

Now the time has finally come for us to start on the Fantic 200 project – so it will be ready to next years Classic seson.

When we picked up the bike, it was fitted with Marzocchi dampers (see picture). I do not know the model, and can not find any information regarding it - Trial related that is. 
Since it is not original damper, I assume that it is a (better) damper than stock. Now the question is just whether to renovate them, or buy a new set.
The only thing that comes close to the model are Marzocchi Strada - but never saw them used for Trial.

Is there anyone out there who can assists me in the naming the model, and possibly whether it make any sense to have them refurbished for Classic Trial. They need some loving, with a total damper renovation - also spring and rod.

I have Marzocchi Strada shockies on a twinshock enduro bike and while they are OK for that, they have the wrong damping pattern for trials.

Those Marzocchis that came off your Fantic may have been OK when they were working, but to fix them would probably cost more than buying a new, decent set of modern trials shocks

Get a set of Falcons or betors or rock shox or njb's for the old girl , Trying to go thru those is a wasted effort , and to the best i can tell , I don't think those ever came on a 200 OE.

Thank you all for feedback. I have come to the conclusion that the ”old” Marzocchi dampers will not be going back on the Fantic. I will get some new instead.
