Fork spacers

[bosozoku]

I used 22mm Craftsman sockets...

They're about the right length (~32mm), the right diameter, and won't be damaged by fork oil.

Except they are heavy, expensive but other than that some sweet fork spacers

Not heavier than steel pipe of the same diameter, and I had 3 of the things for some reason, so two of them could justifiably go inside my forks.

I used 3/4" pvc end caps I picked up at LOWES. They have A ID of 3/4" and two OD one is 1"1/16 and the other is about 1" so you put the larger diameter in 1st. I stacked two on end to give me about 1.5"(38.1 mm) in length. Cost about 40 cents each so $`1.60 all together worked great!

The RaceTech kit comes with spacer material (aluminum alloy tubing) and lots of washers. Just cut to length.

I could have used a saw, but using a pipecutter I had very little cleanup to do.

Did you use the standard sockets or the deep ones

No idea -- standard I think.  I had 3 in my toolkit, so 2 extras, so I just used them
