>They are gonna see
if the spacers are required/desired. So as it stands, I still don't know
if the spacers are required for the mounting of a Progressive 500/560 to a
stock shock
Not needed on mine! Works fine without for over 1000 miles so far.

I just installed the new Progressive fork springs in my A14. There was
a small note in the directions that said the spacer was supposed to be
2" (at least that is what I think it meant). Anyway I cut two inches
off the old spacer and put those two inch spacers in the fork. Some
recent posts seem to indicate that I was supposed to cut two inches off
the stock spacers and then put them back in the forks. Which is the
correct procedure? The front forks seem plenty stiff with the two inch
spacers I am using. I also installed a Fastline front brake line and
the bike handles much better but I have not had the chance to ride it
too much yet.
Thank you,
