'He's an idiot,' I said of myself.

That's kinda funny, cuz the math seemed obviously wrong...so I actually penciled it out..and got the same stoopid number.

Crap.  I have [b]no[/b] idea where the bogus number came from.  Obviously no thinking was involved.

My apologies. :(

I'll give this another go......

I question the starting measurement.  I can tell you that on my bike ('00 200) the measurement with the oem spring (470mm) is closer to 60mm.

Of course, considering the math above..you've [b]GOT[/b] to question any measurement, 'eh?

I don't know what you could do to get the measurement so wide.  You could compress the spring somehow...you could put the rod under tension (you don't yank on it.

How about this?  Where is the jam nut when you measure the space?  It must be well below the cap.  It can't interfere in any way with the threading-on of the cap.

Something's wrong, I'd say.  I don't think there is any difference in the forks in the 'H' models.

Hey..what does 'under the shoulder of the cap,' mean?  You measure to the [b]bottom[/b] 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 [b]top[/b] of the fork.  The spring doesn't go anywheres close to that spot.
