November 13, 200817 yr Hello all, I have recently brought a Seeley TL200 and the front forks sag by 4 centimetres (probably not suprising for a 1981 bike). Does anyone know what length the springs should be and/or where I might be able to get replacement marzocchi springs from? The bike also needs any airbox, so again does anyone know where I could get one from? Thanks
November 13, 200817 yr Front forks are Fantic 200 amongst others so try Bill Pye for springs, or WES make replacements for 35mm forks so try the usual parts stockists for these. Airbox - pray..... Chances of finding an original are slim, best put a wanted ad on all the internet sites you can think of. There is someone in the Isle of Man who has Seeley parts, name of Quayle I think, someone may know how to get in touch with him.
November 13, 200817 yr Hi, Correct as Woody says the Marzocchi forks were common to Fantic and SWM (at one stage) so springs shouldn't be a problem. The airbox was a fabricated aluminium affair, basically made to suit the Seeley. The outlet was to the offside (to match the carb) and used the rubber boot of a TL125. these appear on e-bay regularly at around
November 13, 200817 yr Hi Although you dont mention it, I assume that your forks have the steel preload tubes fitted on top of the springs ?? Martin
November 13, 200817 yr Author Hi Martin M, I really don't know at the moment as I have not removed the top cap nuts at the moment, I will check that out over the weekend. Thanks
January 26, 201214 yr Dragging up an old topic again. The lads on the Fantic forum are suggesting these for the Marzocchi's on the fanatic 200 and SWM. Any thoughts? Ebay Edited January 26, 201214 yr by stuhrc
January 26, 201214 yr Dragging up an old topic again. The lads on the Fantic forum are suggesting these for the Marzocchi's on the fanatic 200 and SWM. Any thoughts? Ebay I got these fork springs from In Motion Bultaco for my Marzocchi forked SWM, so depending on your weight should be fine. (13stone) Defiantly better than 20/30 yr old ones !
January 26, 201214 yr Although this listing has ended this person advertises occasionally ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fork-springs-suit-35mm-Marzocchi-Fantic-SWM-Pre65-Ceriani-Betor-etc-/200696871131?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2eba7738db#ht_500wt_949 if you click on other items he has wheel you could ask him, they are reasonably priced as well. Also Magical ones are available,
