Did they made the rear suspension that was such a problem recently for BMW? Maybe the liability costs nailed the coffin?

My Griso wheels had a cast Brembo logo and a Marzocchi sticker...

Errrr. I don't think so. You probably are confusing it with Marchessini (Sp?) different entities entirely.

As for Marzocchi their glory days of producing what were generally seen as the best suspension available are long gone. In 1977 maybe. Most of the suff produced nowadays is at best mediocre.

The impending closing of Marzocchi probably explains why MG switched to Kaifa forks during the '13 V7 run.

Marzocchi going away? They could take Sachs with them and I'd shed no tears.
