'97 Z1 service in Vancouver

[Badgerhound]

Just checking if some of the OG Vancouver members on here could offer suggestions on who still repairs old Marzocchi forks in town. Was out yesterday and blew the seals on my '97 Z1's. I did a quick check of some of the suspension repair shops but it looks like they all have some type of age limits.
I see from some of your ride pictures a couple of you must be close by, I guess I haven't posted enough to be able to direct message.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do them yourself. Really simple and lots of guides online. Will only likely cost you the service kit and oil

This video from Butter Suspension is pretty good, even if you have no experience:

If the bushings don't have any play you should be good with dust/oil seals. The foot nut o-ring is the only thing that can even leak besides the main oil seals. Dr Zocchi on this site sells the complete rebuilt kit with tools if you just want everything: https://dr-zocchi.projectweb.de/produkt/rebuild-kit-classic-z1z2-marzocchi/

Awesome, thanks for the reply, that would be a way better option then. Who would have the service kits?
I've been watching your posts and had a Hot question as well if you don't mind. Just got a '94 frame and was wondering what the proper seatpost size is. I've seen 27.2 and 27.0 listed for that year. All my bikes are '97's at 27.0. The post that came with it was way too small and the collar's kind of squished in a bit so the measurements not accurate.
Thanks for the suggestion

Great, guess that answers my question. Thanks very much for the help
