And for the Crown! This is the 80HD Prototype crown! I received many questions while rocking these Crowns on my 2011 Marzocchi 888 Ti.

The crown dose more than a few things than add Tons of Style! It has a flat lower Crown, witch not only looks great but makes the bike snappier in corners and makes the bike feel a bit smaller!

The crown also has Two different stem mounting options! The standard Four bolt Pattern! And the old Marzocchi Pattern!
