After almost a year I finally got around to installing my front springs the other day. I needed a second pair of hands and when Ed came over he assisted me. It was very easy, just loosen caps, pull springs and washer and replace springs and washer (tight coil side down). So my question is for anyone else that has done the standard replacement like this, NOT the lowering springs. I just put the stock spacer back in, it is about 6" long. The springs came with these real short, about 2", PVC spacers that I didn't install. Did anyone use just the short ones, or both or just the stockers?
I am working on dialing the suspension in correctly after reading the "Total Control" book by Lee Parks that someone here mentioned. Outstanding book by the way, explains road racing techniques and complete bike, suspension and ergonomic setups for stability and performance. Also just a plain old good read for safety and getting your head on straight for riding.
So, how about them springs and spacers?
