Just got my monster T back. Hard anodize on the stanchions and black ano on the lowers and DB arch. Awaiting new stickers and some oil. A big thanks to Mike at www.atmf.com for great work, attention to details (as always) and fast turn times.

Interesting. Please post back once that thing is assembled. Hard anodize adds thickness, so I am curious to see how everything fits back together.

they looked at the OEM coating, stripped it off and went back with a comparable thickness. We will see for sure though when it is back together.

In my experience, the amount of material added in a hard coat process is within the tolerance of marzocchi forks. Especially if you consider they were anodized before and they were probably stripped before being done black.
I took apart my shiver and measured the bushing diameter with an extremely accurate aerospace bore gauge that I borrowed from work. One side was .003 different than the other. That is a huge amount when it comes to close tolerance fits. The .0005 that is added shouldn't matter.

damn that fork is hot

It would be a crime to put those ugly grey stickers on. Get some stealth 888 type ones made and it would be sweet

the crown, left and rt lower = $45.00
Hard coat anodize 2 stanchions = $75.00
$14 ups ground.

$134.00 total usd

All you need now is some die cut stickers made with a nice evil looking metal font.

I wouldn't put any stickers on it at all. Just leave it completely stealth.
That place has killer prices. Most places have a $100 min.

Definately a bargin compared to what I was expecting...

 

[zedro]

get it pinstriped with a very subtle dark gray or something, or some custom stickers from SomeFearGear

at worst it would be like breaking in new bushings...no big deal...

 

[in the trees]

Can't wait to see that built up. Post pics as soon as you can. Maybe I've got $75 to spare to have an all black '02. Hmmm.

SWEET!

no more needs to be said!
