This came out of my Forks.

So I replaced my springs with progressives and this is what came out. None of the instructions referenced this piece. Maybe someone might want to referenced this in the Progressive instructions for new comers so it does not throw them like it did me.

 

So when I removed the 17mm cap, picture 1 is what I saw. When I removed it as I pull picture 1 thing out the 4 inch spacer can along with it.

 

After the 4 inch spacer then I pulled the flat washer with the collar.

 

I pulled this thing of picture 1 off the 4 inch spacer. It came off kinda of hard but because the instructions/picture did not show it to discard I put it back in. Also because it had the O-ring I thought it was of some signifcant so I used it. Well I tryed to add the 1/2 inch ABS spacer and it was almost impossible to put the 17mm cap on. So I discard the ABS Spacer.

 

This thing of picture 1 is about 1 inch in length with the flat washer.

 

My 1st ride was pretty stiff.

 

I removed this thing of picture 1 and replaced it with the 1/2 inch spacer with the washer collar.

 

This morning I went a 2nd ride of the same course. Ride is still stiff, there might have been a very very slight improvement.

 

This evening I'm going to remove the 1/2 ABS spacer, maybe I should also remove the washer too. Don't like the idea of the end of the spring butting up against the 17mm cap.

 

At 173 lb, guess I'm a light weight.

 

I sure hope the ride softens up some with no spacers.

 

Oh I have a 91 VR.

 

So for those who need to use a 1 inch spacer, rather than using 1 inch of ABS spacer you might consider the below.

 

This is how I installed it for my 1st ride.

Progressive Spring with the tight coil down 1st.

Flat washer with the coller going inside the thing of picture 1.

then the 17mm cap.

Wonder why your cap is 1-inch tall, when mine is 3/4 inch. Anybody know why they would be different sizes ?
