Anybody fitted Racetech springs?

My new springs just showed up. Any tricks to fitting them?

Yes to the first question and no to the second.

When i put mine in i laid the old springs with the spacer next to the new ones ( new ones are shorter than the oem ) then put the spacer tube on top measured it up the spring and spacer tube to where its the same lenght as the oem, cut the spacer tube, i used 3 spacer washers then put them in easy , the hard part is measuring the sag you need someone else there to do it right

Cheers, that's what I thought. Sag is easy. Im just going to put an O ring around the fork leg so it will show where the fork is sitting when Im on the bike.

Take some pics because I need to do the exact same job.

Will do. What could possibly go wrong?

Turns out it was easy. I cut my spacers to 115mm and slapped it back together. Just about to head out for a 200k ride so will report back.

What weight oil did you use ?
