[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1326375, member: 238"] Outta likes, but it sounds like '007 and Ray have you on the path to proper set up. Assuming RT is using the same springs, follow Ray's recommendations above for your spacer length. IIRC, my spacer length ended up with ~1/2 of the threads showing on the dampener rod w/o the spring compressed. Spin the nut to the bottom of the threads and you'll end up with a tight spacer. Reassemble and use the external preload for fine tuning. Good luck! --G [/QUOTE]
