Gunnar,

I've never found the need to put spacers in. Guess I don't pound my forks
like most folks or I've just been lucky and never had weak springs. No this
will not be the last Guzzi you dive into. I foresee there WILL be more in
your future. :)

I tried a couple tools to remove the Fork collar with no result.
Since I am ordering some parts for the forks and frame I will get the
tool to do this. I have the feeling that, once I am done with this Eldo,
it will not be the only one I am restoring..

Question: I am getting new front springs, do you guys put spacers in? I
noticed that the ones I took out had 2inch spacers. They might have been
added because of weak springs? New ones should not need any spacers..?
