Using stock metal spacers (and cutting) for progressive and race tech springs?

(1/3) > >>

johnnymot1:
Have you guys that have installed race tech and/or progressive front fork springs used and cut the stock metal spacers vs using the supplied pvc pipe? They look like and feel like a better fit, and it looks like both springs (going in two different builds) are going to require the spacers for the proper fit/pre-load.

WTF304:
I'd like to this aswell ... i have progressive front springs but haven't done them yet

ex119x:
I usually use a piece of PVC. It is much easier to cut square and has plenty of strength when used in compression. Progressive usually includes a 6" piece with their springs.

WTF304:
Yes they did and 2 washers also .... never done forks before so im a little hesitant. ... still thinking of letting a shop do them.

ex119x:
Just go ahead and do it. They are very simple forks and it is a good job to do and get some confidence in your abilities. The big hint is to use an impact wrench to get the damper bolts out of the bottom of the fork leg.
