I was looking for a measurement of the spring set-up(all pieces included; a magic number like let's say 600mm(for example)) that you could use to figure the amount.
Sometimes we look too hard to find the simple things, ME included.
Different subject: In a search of "preload" I found some posts from you(CC) that stated you didn't like 470mm springs. What's that all about? You(CC) mentioned you liked honda 500mm+ springs. Just curious.
Thanks again. :thumb:

So, if X=60mm and you want 15mm of preload, your cut spacer length would be (60-3+1569mm.

That's kinda funny, cuz the math seemed obviously wrong...so I actually penciled it out..and got the same stoopid number.
Hey..what does 'under the shoulder of the cap,' mean? You measure to the bottom of the cap..to where the spring seats. Certainly not to the 'shoulder' as I'd describe the piece of the cap that sits on top of the fork. The spring doesn't go anywheres close to that spot.

Any time.
A quick refresher of good 'help': 60-3+15 = 69mm
Oh yeah! There's some help for 'ya!! ;)
