2012 Mod List thread

Parts arriving...

Got these last night. ;) I was surprised that there was no spacer tube to cut, just a bunch of washers... so I talked to Race Tech and he says I lay the replacement spring next to the original spring. Whatever the difference between the two is, I either cut from the stock spacer (too long), or make up the difference by stacking shims (too short). So, I could be using as few as one shim (washers) per fork...or maybe as many as six where they gave me twelve in the one package.

The rest is on the way...

Gut the cat
55-profile rear tire
