Yes, but you need the triples, front tire/axle and brake caliper. For the money and time it took, it would be better to source out KYB's from a Yama.

Ok, what I meant to put was, is the 2002 Axel and brake Caliper (Nissin)
I already have fitted to allow the WP forks fit my bike the same Axel and brake Caliper needed to fit the Marzocchi shivers, so provided I have the 45mm Tripels
Everything should fit ?

The caliper will be fine. The axle diameter on the WPs is different. WP uses a smaller (20mm I think), Shivers is larger (25mm I think). You'll need a axle from a 2004 or newer bike, axle nut, wheel spacers, bearings, seals, and the spacer between the wheel bearings. The hub is fine, the I.D. of the bearings changed when they went to the Marzocchis but the O.D. of the bearings stayed the same.

Ok, cheers for that pj7 looks like ebays the next stop !

Hi, I'm found some 1998 45mm Triple Clamps off an EC 250, will these fit the Shivers as they are also 45mm or would I need the yokes from the same year as the Shivers, which is 2007, cheers for any help

1998 gasgas used the marzocchi magnum fork which is a standard and no usd fork. Make sure you are looking for the right triple clamp. 2000 gasgas changed to the usd white power 43mm and 2 or 3 years later to the shiver

Ok, cheers for that, so your saying that although the Triple Clamps that came
With the 1998 & the Shivers were both 45's, only the ones that came with the Shivers will fit the Shivers.

Yep,

This is the one you need to mount the 45mm Shiver fork.
