From here it sounds like the springs are to stiff, or someone has added an add'l spacer making them that way.
At rest, the measurement from the top of the fork seal to the nylon tie should probably be in the 2-3 measurement range". That also means that the fist test that we started with, with the pinky touching the top of the fender ... the space between the top of your fist to the plastic cowl is probably well more then an inch. Is that correct ???
