Racetech fork springs, spacers or not?

[bigoltool]

Are they not shorter ?

Let me clarify, they use no additional spacers. The stock plastic spacer is re-used. The racetech springs are essentially the same length as the stockers, just higher rate windings. The springs do come with a bunch of washers for other (non-Hayabusa) installations.

Jake called me back today, but just to tell me that he still didn't have an answer. Apparently another person is supposed to call or email me tomorrow....guess we'll see.

There are some very good How To's about fork and spring installation on their web site Or at least there were.

You measure the stock spring, and spacer, then cut the new spacer to make the same over all Length with the new Spacer, and new Spring!

No spacers as such just stacks of washers. Racetech springs are 250mm

Do people normally put spacers at bottom of springs or at the top? Cheers

Spacers at the top, with the holes on the sides up, to use the spring compressor
