Maico / Damper Tube and Spring Identification

« on: September 03, 2019, 02:21:22 pm »

I removed these parts from two different pairs of 42mm forks with the 1981-1983 length chrome tubes and fork sliders.


Flipped over:


What year Maico fork is the damper tube on the top from with 8 holes total (3 + 2 one side and 3 other side)?

Bottom tubes appear to be stock '81 with 6 holes (2 + 1 on both sides)




Is the top spring 25.5" in length a Maico spring? The forks I pulled them from were same with top damper above. Setup did not have soft stop springs installed.

Bottom spring appears to be a stock '81 and measures 23.5" in length.


Thanks for help!

Maico / '81 Maico Fork Rebuilding Question

« on: January 20, 2017, 01:26:05 pm »

I need to re-install these four piece in the bottom of my '81 chrome fork tubes:

-Large aluminum piece, one side is recessed (visible on top in photo) and one side does not have large recess (visible on bottom in photo)

-Small aluminum piece with one side flat (visible on top in photo) and one side is flat (visible on bottom in photo).

-Washer with four prongs

-Clip (obviously installed last)

What is the correct re-install order for the two aluminum pieces and washer, also what direction do the aluminum pieces go since each the sides are different?
