Inner diameter is 41.7 mm, not sure about the o.d. and width. Perhaps it has the dimensions in the parts book. Edit: found it: 41.7 x 55 x 7.5/10

Perfect - thank you.

You'd think that in ITALY.....Id be able to stroll down to the local dealer and get something like this....but unfortunately Guzzi's dealership network issues are worse in it's home country than in the US. Our last local guy closed up about 10 yrs ago. There's an independant guy about an hour away...but he doesnt stock this kinda stuff.

Then stop by a Ducati dealer.

Ducati used the 41.7mm Marzocchis in the 1980s, if I recall correctly.
