spacer

Hi everyone. Redid my front forks. Followed the Clymer and Sean's videos as far as fluid. '85 stock forks. 1. Are the stock springs tapered at the top? (they look like a progressive spring would. Is that stock)? 2. How much spacer sticks out from top? Unloaded how much spacer is out at the...

So, got the rear tire swapped out (rode over a nail!!!), but I pulled it myself to save a few bucks. Have done it once or twice before. When I was putting things back, I think I lost a spacer. I've looked all over my garage though, and cannot find anything. This is what I have. From the...

Could somebody tell me which way the spacer/washer faces. The one between the wheel and caliper bracket on the rear wheel. I found it flat side out but the Clymer manual seems to contradict that. Also there seems to be a big difference of opinion on axle torque. I'm reading 110 but the forum is...

OK, got my new Race Tech springs for my 85 Vmax and they are significantly shorter than my factory springs. I had to make 10" long spacers to make up the difference. Is this normal? I got the S3234-100.

I just had my tires replaced with ME880s front and 170/80 back. I had then recieved a call from the shop who switched the tires. They had called because they found a spacer from someones rim. Maybe mine! I put every thing I had taken off by me back on in the same order. Could someone please post...

Anyone know the dimensions of this? Don't want to pull the wheel to find out.

Does anybody know if the spacer in the rear wheel will come out either side? When I knocked the bearings out a few months ago I dinged up the spacer a little. I actualy called carrozzeria and asked about buying a replacement, because I wanted every thing new when I put it back together. They...

Pardon my ignorance but I'm having a heck of a time grasping the spacers needed for dropping the forks internally. I have gone through and searched but want to confirm that I'm following correctly. If I am wanting to install progressive springs, in order to lower it, I add a pvc spacer under...

This came out of the rear wheel assembly when i took it apart, is it parts 2/3 combined from the microfiche (both pics attached)? Do I need to pound the spacer off the collar and any specific way to set it back on? thanks!

Looking to get a ballpark measurement for the fork spacer with my new setup. I just threw in some progressives, a set of ricor intimidators, new seals, and oil. I did a 1" drop so according to the progressive chart the spacer length should be 8.37" or something like that. The inimidators are...

Does anyone know the length of the stock spacer in the front forks of a '94 Max? I pulled mine apart to fix a leaky fork seal and found the previous owner had scabbed some PVC pipe in place of the stock spacers. I would like to start fresh with the correct length spacer while I rebuild these...

Got some '88 front forks from eBay. Seller said the following: "Came out of a running bike with about 11k miles. Straight and pretty clean on the sliders..very little rusting. Seals were replaced a season befor being removed. Bike was lowered 1/2 inch by putting in different space. Fluid was...

:ummm: Can anyone give me a ballpark spacer length to start with when using the progressive lowering kit and emmulators? I tried what one person posted and the spacer stuck out of the tube about 3" and couldn't even push it down to get the fork cap started. Seems a bit much to me. Thanks...

greetings all i'm a newby getting ready to change over to radials 180/55/18 on a ebay rear wheel and 110/80/18 on the stock front his tire should be almost a 1" shorter so i will have to lower the fender. my question is what are you guys all using when ths is done...

After syncing carbs to try to correct a stutter at low rpm cruise, no joy. So I pulled the needles to see what groove my clip was in & found this on the spacer. The little tit on the spacer is supposed to go into the small hole in the vacuum piston if i read the manual correctly. Mine were not...

I'm getting ready to install radials and I am looking at putting a spacer between the front fender and the fork brace. Since the bike is in storage :sleep::sleep:I would like to find out what length of spacer that I need to have in order to have the same clearance from fender to tire as stock...

I need input on this issue :confused2: I have progressive springs fitted inside 40mm ('88 model) fork tubes. The forks are lowered with 2 x 1" lowering springs per side. Fork oil is 10 weight. Forks are also fitted with Race Tech cartridge emulators set at 2 turns. Air kit is still fitted...
