Fork Fillers? How to stiffen up your suspension?? Where ??

[chefod]

I read how to stiffen up the front suspension but I don't know where to get the plastic or nylon to make the fork spacers??? can i buy them somewhere??? I really would like them, it's awful hard doing stoppies with soft front suspension??

I used PVC joints from the hardware store, some people use washers, I've heard of someone using sockets.  Take the dimensions given on that post to the hardware store and see what you come up with!  It might help to open up one of the forks to see what you are working with (to make sure what you get will work).  Using the search function will also turn up a bunch of write-ups and similar questions you can learn from.

Based on Pablo's writeup I used PVC Schedule 40 end caps (made for 1/2 inch pipe). I haven't had any problems and I feel like I don't bottom out as much.

PVC pipe cut to length.  be sure it's the heavy duty 1, not the flimsy stuff.
