Cracked fork help

hey, i have a 2001 junior t, but i cracked the M arch. i was wondering i could switch the lowers with my 2001 z5. the both are the same length. would this work? if so, how do i take off the lowers?

Same travel?

2001 Jr t's are 6 inch, your Z5 is 5 inches. I don't think it will work.
You might be able to swap the M-arch, though?

the z5 was for a 5 inch, junior t was for a 6 inch. both are reg dropouts

GAZZ, how do i swith the M arch? are there screws or smthg to take it off or can this only b done by marzocchi? i dont think they will warantee this because this fork has been passed on.

I suspect that you can do it yourself, but others will have to chime in - I'm no expert on replacing the M-arch. Closest I came to replacing one is when I mistakenly removed the brake bosses on my first M-arch fork and had to re-seat it.

These days, just getting your hands on a replacement M-arch is the biggest challenge.

check the bottom of your lowers…

i think you'll find the castings are spaced different in terms of depth…

i know my 4" Z3 was difffernt from my 5"Z1…..

hope that helps…

i dont think it'll work…

i would just get a shop to cause after you swap the arch the fork will need to basicly be rebuilt…but a new arch is only $200 so it isnt that bad….
