Bob,
I got the progressively wound fork springs from Moto International
out in Washington state - can't remember the price since it has been a few
years ago. The spacers are just 1.5" PVC pipe cut to length. Moto Intl.
will tell you the length but it wasn't very long.
The only tool that you need to something to pull the fork tubes up
to the upper fork plate since the springs are on the outside of the tube. I
think that Moto Intl. will rent you this tool.
I made one by buying an extra fork plug (bolt), removing the center
stud from the plug, drilling and tapping to a larger size, getting a length
of mild steel rod, threading the end to fit the new threaded hole in the
fork plug, and welding on a 'T' handle.

| Bruce, Where did you get your new fork springs and spacer? Mine bottoms out on really minor bumps in the road. Bob Bruce Giller wrote:
