Troy, I suggest you go to the Racetech Website and introduce your data ( including
weight, type of riding, solo or in company and so on). their program will give you the
result, including the right size for the spacers, but cutting in two the spacer as far
as I know never works. Sometimes you even have to look for another piece since the
delivered tube is not long enough for both forks. Finally I always try to remind
others about what happened to me, EVEN THOUGH RACETECH corrected the problem since
then, but just in case and so no one has the same problem, my new Max had bigger dia.
fork tubes and springs, but I received the ones meant for the older smaller forks. The
spring was dangling inside the tubes and the spacer was far too small in diameter.
Just check the difference with the original ones, since it is very obvious.
