What do you reckon please mate?

Cheers

Thanks for the sale WB. Your mod was posted off first thing this morning.

I would expect no problems in fitting the spacers, as I have a friend in Brisbane with the exact same set of springs with spacers. His front end is great.

Your mod is all packed up ready for posting, just waiting for payment.

There is only 4 spacer kits left on Ebay & that's the last lot for now. So don't Email or PM & say I missed out as there is 4 for sale right now.

There will be some more down the line sometime. :walk1:

I have just fitted the Kev fork spacer mod, and must say it does improve the feel of the front end, simple to do; took me about an hour in total, most of that spent trying to balance bike to get front wheel off the ground ! All in all a cheap effective improvement to the handling of the XTX.:clap:

Hi all,

I fitted those spacers few days ago. I made the spacers myself from polyacetal (POM) round bar. I found 35mm diameter bar and I drilled 20mm hole in center. I also added few washers which was 37mm diameter so this solution seems to work also (so far) :)

A question for Kev, why the 20mm hole is needed?
