There are lots of tuners that can do the Marzocchi 48s, us included. We've done a ton of these forks in the GasGas guise with great results. Closer to home you might even look up Evan at Solid Performance.

Hubert
The KYB forks are twin chamber from the TC husky.
I also used the stock disc and just re-drilled the hole to move the magnet.

Yamaha-fitted KYBs use Nissin brakes ...

NETRA (Connecticut) terrain is extremely rocky, much like where I live and practice ride. A more focused setup for sure. Tuner should know this terrain for best results.

Alan Stillwell himself assured me he was very familiar with New England terrain and could accommodate me just fine. I sure hope he is right. I was watching some Alabama videos yesterday and chuckling at the sandy smooth baby carriage trails they were riding. No offense Southerners, not your fault there are no rocks. ;)

Good then! Just tossing that out in general as I've seen east coast guys get burned by west coast tuners. Les(LTR) is a good west coast guy, as WA is a lot like here with all the relentless trail trash and moisture.

Sand can be torture as well, and realize the GoPro makes things look smoother than they really are. Come down for a south Jersey race sometime, you don't have to go to Alabama.
