[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1068221, member: 3828"] It isn't about the spacer or the spring displacing more oil. It's about how much headspace you want over the oil. That space (air) over the oil surface acts like a logarithmically progressive air spring that boosts the physical coil spring in the suspension. If you put a stiffer spring in, and want a less progressive action, you would drop the oil level in the fork. That's all it amounts to. PS - MCRIDER007 I haven't blown you off in regard to your question about what I meant with aftermarket fork damping mods and oil viscosities. I just haven't had the time to properly reply yet over the busy weekend. I will try to do that early this week. (this answer was a quicker one) [/QUOTE]
