Kev's Front Fork Spacers
 

By a strike of luck, Kev has obtained a few more sets of these fork spacers as his previous supplier had temporarily stopped production, I cannot reccomend these mods enough but if you don't believe me just read the 100% positive comments from other forum members who have fitted them in these threads:

If you want a set of these mods please send a pm to Kev a.s.a.p. as these might be the last set we can get hold of for a long time.

Ok, so I have fitted these spacers, and the difference is really noticeable. It doesn't dive anymore when I hit the front brakes. I now wonder, have any of your been on a corrugated dirtroad after fitting them? Is the ride a lot more bumpy, as the plushness would be gone?

Yes

I should describe it as being like a Morgan 4/4 I had a few years ago - if you run over a cigarette end you can tell if it was filter-tipped.

Not entirely, you get a more active feedback and remember these are bikes not overcrafts or Citroen cars ;)

If you find you are getting to much rebound for off road riding, cut 10mm off each spacer making them 20mm. I have tested 15,20,25,30,35,40,& 50mm spacers, 30mm is perfect for the road & 20mm works well for off road.

Have you ever wondered how your fork spacers are made.

wow good stuff Kev!! :notworthy:

No intervention from me, all the credit goes to KLR (Kev2) he makes it look so easy.
