Hi.
I have just received my new Sonic 1,2 springs, for my ST1100 A '93
Removed the old springs , and discovered that only the left side having a spacer.
Measured the old (Not OEM ? ) front spring free length to 473 mm. (About 18,65 in.) Clymer say that is the same length as the original.
The instruction from Sonic Spring was to put the new springs / spring seats / pvc-spacers in the fork. Mark the spacers at the top of the tube, and then measure a bit down from that mark. (Preload / length of fork cap).
I understand doing that on the left side, but on the right side / Cartridge side, i need some help.
I dont know what spacer length to use on this side.
The spacer will not "hit" the bottom of the fork cap like the left side, so i guess i can not measure it on the same way ?
Is my solution : Sonic spring + pvc spacer = 18.67 in. (The specification of the OEM springs)
I am about 195 lbs. without gear. Any suggestion for left/ right spacers , oil viscosity, and oil levels ?
Best Regard
