[Mike Hansen]

Sounds like a plan Rick !! ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Rick McCauley To: dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 2:26:34 PM Subject: Re: Fw: [DSN_KLR650] Fork spring spacers I have only had forks out of a couple bikes, and that was several years ago. They had no spacers.The KLR is the first one I have seen with spacers. I like the spacers as they give you the abililty to change pre-load. The spacers that come with the proggressive forks are 2" long. The stock spacers are over 5" long. I thought of making 2-1/2" and 3" spacers to experiment with preload. Rick (swamp dweller) A17

I used large flat washers, because i felt the thin spacers were kinda weak looking. I guess you could use pipe or thick PVC. the spacers will not move. as they are at the top of the fork. I think its weird that there is spacers anyways.... I mean, why wouldnt they make a spring long enough ?? haha ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Rick McCauley To: dsn_klr650@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 12:22:18 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Fork spring spacers Any reason thicker walled spacers can't be used over the fork springs? The stock ones, and the ones that come with the Proggressive Springs are really thin.
