With front end off the ground and the forks fully extended, the spacer
is down aprox. 1/2 inch from the top of the tube. If I need to have the
spacer 1 inch above the top of the tube, wouldn't this make the
suspension even tighter? Again, I have no air in the forks, but with
the 1.0 spring rate, I may have went to strong with the spring rate, I
should have used the .95's.... Also, until I get a riser or extend my
dragbars, I cant up the forks/drop the t-clamp, but thats in the works.
I picked up some extra PVC in case I need to put more spacer in,,, as
long as I won't make it stiffer. Also, I'm using 10 weight fork oil,
i'm glad I didn't use 40 as racetech recommended....Thanks all.
