I replaced stock springs with Wilbur Progressives on my 2000 Girly.  They are about 1.4" shorter, therefore no pre-load.  I hear people talk about using PVC pipe for spacers.  The metal tube spacer is 1.5" OD.  What are you guys using?  1" PVC ia 1.3" OD.

Thanks

Well I've done my fair share of tinkering with suspension both front and back but that's a new on me  :icon_scratch:,I understand what your trying to do but with the right kit in the first place you shouldn't need too,thats not to say it can't be done done,just involves a lot of your own R+D too find out what floats your boat,allowing for a change of oil viscosity and quantity.
