nklr parking your bike

[cmilbourn1]

I changed my seals and oil and added 2 inches of spacers and 15w oil. Made a big difference in the front suspension. Does anyone know of a recomended length for spacers and if I could damage anything whith what I did?

I can't think of any reason longer spacers or different oil will hurt anything. You are just pre-loading the springs a bit more. I tried 15 wt oil with Progressive springs and was unhappy with the rough ride I got on washboard gravel roads and switched to 7 wt on Paul Streeters recommendation. Much smoother ride now. Enjoy your "new" suspension! Ross Lindberg Fertile, MN
