I need the front fork slider, it is the marzocchi 35 mm

Hi Carsten
I assume you mean fork leg - the bottom part?
Unfortunately, I don't have a spare but there is a complete set on UK ebay, but a bit pricey IMHO.

Marzocchi forks 35mm 1978 approx from Laverda Alpino - may fit other Italians | eBay

Fitting lugs for twin discs with period Brembo calipers. There are a few very slight pit marks on the sliders, too small to feel and I don't think they would affect the use. Would be a great upgrade for an earlier classic with poor brakes (with suitable spoked wheel), or cafe racer project.

Andy thank you so much for the reply

I have looked at the front fork, it is for the alpino, i have the sport version,
is the frontfork same for both the alpino and the sport.
best regards from Carsten.

A lot of the 500’s that get raced start life as an Alpino, mine did. I sent my forks to Maxton Engineering and the thing handles really well and I’m 98kg!

AFAIK the forks were the same for Alpino/Monty/F500/500 Sport etc. However, if they were raced it wasn't unusual if they had a change to the yokes.
