Staffo,
Nowhere in the instructions did I see it calling out to cut teh spacers. I have two sets waiting for install in mine and Karen's bikes.
There is much discussion over on Newbonnevilleriders.com with some folks who have installed and are tuning by using PVC spacers that they can cut down in steps.
Personally...I bought some PVC pipe to make new spacers. Ill try stock first then a shorter one to see how it feels.
I wont be installing till next week and don't know when Ill test ride.
